Abstract

The agri-food sector is responsible for generating a large amount of solid waste, which is currently not properly disposed of or reused in an environmentally friendly manner. The reintegration of these waste materials into the production cycle allows for greater economic gain from raw material sources by exploring biomass for various purposes such as the production of bioproducts, precursor materials for biofuels, and energy. Therefore, the objective of this project is to explore a set of bioprocesses within the concept of a biorefinery to develop technological routes for the hydrolysis, purification, fermentative and enzymatic processes, as well as adsorption of the agro-industrial waste from cashew apple peduncles. Subcritical water will be used for biomass hydrolysis to obtain fermentable sugars. The cellulose residue will undergo an enzymatic process to obtain cellulose oligosaccharides. The hydrolysate will be purified to obtain sugars with a high degree of purity. Finally, fermentative processes will be applied to obtain ethanol, lactic acid, and biogas, with the latter being subsequently purified. All processes employed to obtain co-products will be evaluated from a technical and economic standpoint. Therefore, it is expected that this project will contribute to the development and integration of technologies that can support decarbonization of the energy matrix and promote the transition to a circular economy based on the agro-industrial waste from cashew apple peduncles.
