Bio-Circular-Green Economic Model BCG and Lignocellulose Biorefinery: Advancing Sustainable Development and Climate Change Mitigation

Nichaphat Kitiborwornkul, Malinee Sriariyanun

Abstract


Global warming is a crucial environmental challenge that has wide-ranging impacts on human health, economics and environment. Global warming is mainly caused by the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3), fluorinated gas, and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. It comes from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These greenhouse gases will trap heat in the atmosphere, as a result, the world's temperature is increased. This increase in temperature affects the weather and alters the ecosystem, such as drought, uplifting of sea level and ozone hole.
