Abstract

The valorisation of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in the circular economy context is of outmost importance. This review aimed to examine the state-of-the-art valorisation technologies of OFMSW as resource for bioethanol and biodiesel. Firstly, feedstock mapping was performed, where high fluctuation of parameters was revealed. Considering the mean values, the stoichiometries of mechanically and source-sorted OFMSW are C22H44O28N and C20H36O16N, respectively. The substrate's mean carbohydrates (50%) and lipids (13%) contents reflect its potential in bioethanol and biodiesel production, respectively. As far as bioethanol is concerned, this paper critically reviewed the existing variance of second-generation bioethanol production methodologies from OFMSW revealing that high bioethanol yields (over 80%) could be achieved if the treatment steps of pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation are synergistically compiled. To this end, bioethanol yield could benefit from suitable enzymatic blends. Furthermore, this paper discussed about different ways of oil extraction from OFMSW and various biodiesel production techniques. Soxhlet extraction combined with alkaline transesterification emerged as the most widely applied biodiesel production line from OFMSW. The novelty of this literature review lies in the integration of both bioethanol and biodiesel production processes, in a biorefinery concept that would allow the production of both biofuels along with that of biogas. This integration scenario rendered an energy efficiency expressed as energy content in products per energy in raw materials equal to 68%, proving that OFMSW is a feedstock that could meet the sustainability criteria for biofuels production.
