Development of an Energy Biorefinery Model for Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) Shells

Development of an Energy Biorefinery Model for Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) Shells

Chestnut shells (CS) are an agronomic waste generated from the peeling process of the chestnut fruit, which contain 2.7–5.2% (w/w) phenolic compounds and approximately 36% (w/w) polysaccharides. In contrast with current shell waste burning practices, this study proposes a CS biorefinery that integra...
