Impact/Purpose:
This peer-reviewed book chapter (in "Advances in Carbon Management Technologies," publisher: CRC Press, editors: Subhas K. Sikdar and Frank Princiotta) describes a logistics analysis to evaluate different technologies and incentive strategies for the conversion of post-livestock organic waste to carbon and nutrient-based products. This contribution captures techno-economic and logistical issues (e.g., transportation, location, etc.) and diverse types of federal and state incentives, allowing stakeholders to conduct systematic studies on the effect of multiple objectives (e.g., incentives, revenues, environmental benefits, pollution control and prevention, technology feasibility, etc.) for decision-making as needed for SHC Decision Science and Support Tools project.
Description:
Modern societies are characterized by the generation of large amounts of waste, arising from the production of goods and services to satisfy social demands. The traditional manufacturing pattern is one-way linear, following the raw material extraction from the environment, manufacturing, usage, disposal of goods, energy consumption, and discarding the generated residues along the linear path. The common CO2 capture techniques are based on separation processes, such as gas-liquid chemical absorption, gas-solid physical adsorption, and permeation processes using membranes. A pressure swing adsorption operation is based on physical adsorption at moderate pressure and low-pressure regeneration at a constant temperature. Membrane separation technologies are based on the permeability of different gases through a membrane. The production of hydrocarbons is based on the dry reforming of biogas to produce renewable syngas, which is their precursor. The chapter discusses potential opportunities for the process design and logistics management of organic waste material under various types of government incentives.
