Development of an integrated strategy for the valorization of slaughterhouse waste (SHW) and digestate into renewable energy, biochar, and syngas through the combination of biochemical and thermochemical processes.

• • Conduct a baseline study on SHW valorization technologies at national and international levels. • Evaluate biomethane and biohydrogen yields. • Assess syngas, biogas, and biochar production from solid digestate. • Optimize the energy efficiency of the obtained biofuels. • Valorize biochar as a precursor for biomethane and biohydrogen production. • Identify potential commercial applications.

• • Reduce energy costs and improve energy self-sufficiency of slaughterhouses. • Enhance waste management and contribute to GHG emission reduction. • Integrate SHW into new local value chains for clean energy production. • Evaluate the environmental and economic sustainability of proposed technologies through risk and impact assessments. • Generate reliable data to guide industrial decision-making for technology adoption.
