Circular business models for bioelectricity: A value perspective for sugar-energy sector in Brazil

摘要: Abstract This study investigates circular business models for converting waste-to-energy based on the anchoring dynamics between sugar and alcohol plants other biomass suppliers in agro-industrial symbiosis network. The research design includes qualitative quantitative assessments of biomasses by mesoregion, calculation corresponding electrical potential, identification categorization waste-to-energy. results show different feedstocks going towards using multiple organic wastes involving sectors. result indicates that State Sao Paulo can generate 1694.7 MW regional waste streams. In a comparative analysis among types, vinasse represents most significant potential to electricity, which corresponds 595.0 MW. contributes literature exploring nexus with still lack. We proposed two types models, centralised distributed anaerobic digestion, six digestion hubs generating electricity. understanding dynamics, roles power plants, particularly physical anchor, institutional upcycling tenants. also explores industrial as source development process, promoting technological innovation collaborative exchange. Contributing previous studies about WtE, this uses sectors from perspective model sugar-energy sector considering dynamics.
