Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the two-stage and one-stage anaerobic co-digestion of vinasse and spent brewer yeast cells (SBY) for biohydrogen and methane production. Optimization of the vinasse-to-SBY ratio and fly ash concentration of the two-stage and one-stage production processes was investigated. In the two-stage process, the vinasse-to-SBY ratio and fly ash concentration were optimized, and the leftover effluent was used for methane production. The optimum conditions for biohydrogen production were a vinasse-to-SBY ratio of 7:3% v/w and fly ash concentration of 0.4% w/v, in which the maximum hydrogen yield was 43.7 ml-H2/g-VSadded. In contrast, a vinasse-to-SBY ratio of 10:0% v/w and fly ash concentration of 0.2% w/v were considered optimal for methane production, and resulted in a maximum methane yield of 214.6 ml-CH4/g-VSadded. For the one-stage process, a vinasse-to-SBY ratio of 10:0% v/w and fly ash concentration of 0.1% w/v were considered optimal, and resulted in a maximum methane yield of 243.6 ml-CH4/g-VSadded. In the two-stage process, the energy yield from hydrogen (0.05-0.47 kJ/g-VSadded) was 0.62%-11.78%, and the major fraction was approximately 88.22%-99.38% gain from methane (3.19-7.73 kJ/g-VSadded). For the one-stage process, the total energy yield distribution ranged from 4.20 to 8.77 kJ/g-VSadded.

Abstract
This study investigated hydropyrolysis and subsequent vapor-phase hydrotreatment over a NiAl2O4 catalyst to produce biomethane (CH4) from pine sawdust. The non-catalytic pressurized hydropyrolysis generated tar, CO2, and CO as the primary products. However, using a NiAl2O4 catalyst in the second-stage reactor significantly increased the formation of CH4 and reduced CO and CO2 in gas products. The catalyst also fully converted tar intermediates to produce CH4, resulting in a maximum carbon yield of 77.7% with 97.8% selectivity. The temperature plays a crucial role in CH4 generation, with both its yield and selectivity showing a positive correlation with the reaction temperature. Increasing the reaction pressure from 0.2 to 1.2 MPa notably inhibited the production of CH4, leading to a shift towards cycloalkanes due to a competitive reaction. This tandem approach shows great potential as an innovative technique for producing alternative fuels from biomass wastes.

Abstract
Perennial energy grasses (PEGs) are supposed to be a momentous heading to the development of biomass energy on account of their characteristic superiorities of high yield, strong adaptability and no direct competition with food crops. Anaerobic digestion of PEGs with great biogas-producing potential occupies an irreplaceable status despite a variety of pathways for conversion to renewable energy. However, efficient digestion of PEGs suffers from severe challenges in connection with feedstock properties such as recalcitrant structures. This review highlights recent research in anaerobic digestion of PEGs and focuses on essential aspects enhancing anaerobic digestion performance: types and properties of grasses, diverse pretreatments, various co-feedstocks for co-digestion, dosing of different additives, and improvements in reactors. General discussions on the future prospects of anaerobic digestion of PEGs are proposed. Overcoming knowledge gaps and technical limitations will facilitate further application of PEGs on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has the potential to replace fossil fuels, thanks to the concept of biorefinery. This material is formed mainly by cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose. To maximize the valorization potential of this material, LCB needs to be pretreated. Milling is always performed before any other treatments. It does not produce chemical change and improves the efficiency of the upcoming processes. Additionally, it makes LCB easier to handle and increases bulk density and transfer phenomena of the next pretreatment step. However, this treatment is energy consuming, so it needs to be optimized. Several mills can be used, and the equipment selection depends on the characteristics of the material, the final size required, and the operational regime: continuous or batch. Among them, ball, knife, and hammer mills are the most used at the laboratory scale, especially before enzymatic or fermentative treatments. The continuous operational regime (knife and hammer mill) allows us to work with high volumes of raw material and can continuously reduce particle size, unlike the batch operating regime (ball mill). This review recollects the information about the application of these machines, the effect on particle size, and subsequent treatments. On the one hand, ball milling reduced particle size the most; on the other hand, hammer and knife milling consumed less energy. Furthermore, the latter reached a small final particle size (units of millimeters) suitable for valorization.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a bioprocess technology that integrates into circular economy systems, which produce renewable energy and biofertilizer whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, improvements in biogas production efficiency are needed in dealing with lignocellulosic biomass. The state-of-the-art of AD technology is discussed, with emphasis on feedstock digestibility and operational difficulty. Solutions to these challenges including for pre-treatment and bioaugmentation are reviewed. This article proposes an innovative integrated system combining alkali pre-treatment, temperature-phased AD and bioaugmentation techniques. The integrated system as modelled has a targeted potential to achieve a biodegradability index of 90% while increasing methane production by 47% compared to conventional AD. The methane productivity may also be improved by a target reduction in retention time from 30 to 20 days. This, if realized has the potential to lower energy production cost and the levelized cost of abatement to facilitate an increased resource of sustainable commercially viable biomethane.

Abstract
One of the potential bioresources for bioethanol production is Napier grass, considering its high cellulose and hemicellulose content. However, the cost of pretreatment hinders the bioethanol produced from being economical. This study examines the effect of hydrothermal process with dilute acid on extruded Napier grass, followed by enzymatic saccharification prior to simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SScF). Extrusion facilitated lignin removal by 30.2 % prior to dilute acid steam explosion. Optimum pretreatment condition was obtained by using 3% sulfuric acid, and 30-min retention time of steam explosion at 190 °C. Ethanol yield of 0.26 g ethanol/g biomass (60.5% fermentation efficiency) was attained by short-term liquefaction and fermentation using a cellulose-hydrolyzing and xylose-assimilating Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC1440/B-EC3-X ΔPHO13, despite the presence of inhibitors. This proposed method not only reduced over-degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, but also eliminated detoxification process and reduced cellulase loading.
