We had lived through the 80s, the decade in which self-sufficiency reached such an ugly apex of valorisation that it had its own, completely erroneous, catchphrase: greed is good.
SABA presents a promising alternative in waste valorisation practice, as it can readily be used in the raw kiln feed as a partial replacement of ordinary raw materials.
However, considering the component valorisation in its original form, corollary implies missing the reuse opportunities of the component in another form.
Since waste wood has multiple valorisation pathways by its conversion to energy or to another high added value material, the proposed methodology will serve as a tool for the identification of the best economic valorisation solution.
The developed process enables to reduce alkali consumption for high recovery of xylan from biomass with relatively higher lignin content for its valorisation into a potential prebiotic oligosaccharide.
Its energetic valorisation could be interesting in areas where a different use, such as animal feed, is not possible.
ECOL INC has put the valorisation issue even higher on its agenda.
Applying Eliasson's (2000) conceptualisation, the competence set is defined as a configuration of generic competences that in direct and indirect interaction generates new knowledge as well as its diffusion and valorisation.
Compared to biopower, it is less clear how such valorisation will count against environmental goals such as shares of renewable energy and CO2 emission reduction targets.
However, it is important to note that the valorisation of 'choice' and 'genetic connections' in this context was heavily skewed towards the assumed interests of the intending parents.
