Declining or Waning

While Bioresource Technology continues to expand its focus on innovative bioprocesses and sustainability, certain themes have seen a decline in prominence over recent years. This may reflect shifts in research priorities or advancements in technology.
  1. Traditional Biogas Production:
    Research specifically focused on conventional anaerobic digestion methods without integration of advanced technologies has diminished as new methods, such as microbial electrolysis and hybrid systems, gain traction.
  2. Single-Product Biorefineries:
    The focus on biorefineries producing a single product has decreased in favor of integrated systems that allow for multiple co-products, emphasizing circular economy principles.
  3. Static Waste Treatment Methods:
    Static or low-innovation waste treatment methods are being overshadowed by more dynamic, adaptive systems that utilize novel technologies and microbial enhancements.
  4. Lignin Valorization through Conventional Means:
    Lignin valorization through traditional chemical methods has waned as more efficient enzymatic and biological methods are developed and explored.
  5. Basic Microalgae Cultivation Techniques:
    Research focusing solely on basic cultivation methods for microalgae without addressing integrated systems or bioproduct recovery has seen a decline.
