The embryonic technology of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) possesses the potential to alleviate global CO concentration with concomitant recovery of valuables. However, due to the significant bottlenecks of inferior yield of valuables and higher capital cost, its potential has not been fully realized at a larger scale till date. With the aim of bridging this lacuna, a first of its kind pilot-scale MES (PSMES) was designed and operated to yield acetic acid from biogas.

- The research evaluates the environmental impacts of landfill mining using life cycle assessment, comparing the effects of on-site sorting versus not mining at all and future scenarios involving recycling and incineration.
- Results indicate that land application of recovered soil improves environmental benefits in areas like global warming potential and human toxicity, but may increase emissions in terrestrial acidification and ecotoxicity.
- The study suggests that the methods used in excavation, transport, and energy sourcing significantly influence environmental outcomes and aims to guide regulatory bodies in creating waste management guidelines.
