Abstrakt
A major worldwide problem is the degradation of energy sources and the wide amount
of waste products from industries, households, or from any other human activities. But what if
both problems can be solved by one solution? Extensive data show that validation of bioresources
increases the production of the value-added product. The assessment is based on a scenario
approach. A vast literature review was performed, to investigate the alternative application
pathways for various types of non-primary bioresources. Multicriteria analysis is considered as
the current gold standard technique for bioresources valorisation and is proved for two cases.
Firstly, we present tests that evaluate the performance of different pre-treatment methods in order
to extract fibre from Hogweed biomass. Secondly, we assess the resilience of our approach using
Multi-criteria analysis for brewers’ spent grain to find out the best value-added product. The
results demonstrate the adequacy of the method for Hogweed biomass and brewers’ spent grain
valorisation.
