农业、森林残渣等副产物代表了一类潜在廉价可再生替代物，通过它们产生的能量对人和自然都是友好的。新的技术可以通过回收、再利用残渣来达到保护环境和可持续发展的目的。这篇文章概述了多种生物质残渣经济化方法，尤其是一些碳友好的方法。通过生物质残渣生产生物燃料、电、生物化学品和生物塑料，代表了一类有价值的、部分替代化石燃料并降低全球温室气体排放的解决方法。
Co-products such as agricultural and forestry residues represent a potential cost-effective,renewable alternative:the energy generated through them is friendly to both human and environment health. The new technologies highly favor environmental protection and sustainable development by recovering and re-utilizing residues. This article aims at providing an overview of the various biomass residues valorization paths,focusing on the most carbon friendly ones. The production of biofuels,electricity,biochemicals and bio-plastic from biomass residues surely represent a valuable solution to partially replace fossil fuels and decrease global GHG emissions.
