Sustainable valorisation of kitchen waste through greenhouse solar drying and microwave pyrolysis- technology readiness level for the production of biochar.

This study proposes an integrated and sustainable approach for the effective conversion of kitchen waste into valuable products through a two-step process. The primary step involves the implementation of greenhouse solar drying to reduce the moisture content of kitchen waste. The secondary step implies microwave pyrolysis for effective degradation of kitchen waste to biooil, biogas and biochar.
