Biorefinery for a circular carbon paradigm: process benefits to the use of dryland CAM crops for anaerobic volatile fatty acid production by Nicholas A. Tenci, Nichola Austen, Laura K. Martin, J. Andrew C. Smith, Ian P. Thompson

“…Conclusions At industrial scale, the observed kinetic advantages of VFA production from CAM-plant feedstocks could translate into process enhancements that would greatly improve the cost-competitiveness of anaerobic biorefinery. Assuming comparable biomass productivities of CAM and non-CAM crops, this high yield could allow higher VFA production per unit of cultivated land, improving the environmental credentials of CAM biorefinery. …”
