Multiparameter-analysis of CO2/Steam-enhanced gasification and pyrolysis for syngas and biochar production from low-cost feedstock

The disposal of spent coffee grounds (SCG) and brewers' spent grains (BSG) has become an environmental issue. Thus, the waste-to-energy valorization of these two low-cost feedstocks was performed via gasification and pyrolysis to assess their potential as syngas and biochar fuels. The processes...
