Identification of Japanese Solid Biowaste for Conversion into Biochemicals and Energy via Thermochemical Biorefinery

Japan has one of the best stated and regulated waste management programs worldwide, befitting its shortage of disposal sites and sheltered resources. While being the 5th largest biomass market worldwide, its efficient waste management accounted for a biomass recycling ratio near 71 % in 2020. Still,...
