TY - T1 - Valorization of urban street tree pruning residues in biorefineries by steam refining: conversion into fibers, emulsifiers and biogas SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/336692 T3 - A1 - Hagel, Sebastian; Kirjoranta, Satu; Mikkonen, Kirsi S.; Tenkanen, Maija; Körner, Ina; Saake, Bodo A2 - PB - Y1 - 2021 LA - eng AB - Street tree pruning residues are a widely available and currently undervalorized bioresource. Their utilization could help alleviate an increasing biomass shortage and offset costs of the pruning process for the municipalities. In this work, a holistic valorization pathway of pruning residues leading to fibers, oligosaccharides, biogas, and compost is presented. For this, representative mixtures of tree pruning materials from the most prevalent street tree genera (oak, linden, maple) found in Ha...
