Abstract

The proliferation of food waste has emerged as an escalating issue, with forecasts suggesting a persistent increase. Efficient waste management is essential in tackling environmental difficulties, providing a sustainable approach to alleviate these urgent problems. Fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) is notable among waste kinds for its abundant critical nutrients, dietary fibre, bioactive chemicals, and significant energy potential. Establishing an effective system for processing FVW can provide substantial advantages, especially in energy recovery and waste minimisation. The worldwide society is increasingly prioritising renewable energy sources to mitigate the environmental repercussions of fossil fuel consumption. Global initiatives are currently focused on utilising energy from FVW, along with the overarching objective of achieving international energy security. This article investigates the possibilities of power generation from many forms of food waste, analyses prevalent generating methods and their justifications, and addresses the legislation and regulations governing food waste management, as well as prospective pathways for sustainable energy solutions.

将厨余垃圾转化为能源：全面回顾

食物垃圾的激增已成为一个不断升级的问题，预测显示其数量将持续增加。有效的废物管理对于解决环境问题至关重要，它为缓解这些紧迫问题提供了一种可持续的方法。水果和蔬菜废弃物（FVW）因其丰富的重要营养成分、膳食纤维、生物活性化学物质和巨大的能源潜力而成为废弃物中的佼佼者。建立一个有效的果蔬废料处理系统可以提供巨大的优势，特别是在能源回收和废物最小化方面。全球社会越来越重视可再生能源，以减轻化石燃料消耗对环境造成的影响。目前，全球倡议的重点是利用车用燃料产生的能源，同时实现国际能源安全的总体目标。本文研究了利用多种形式的厨余发电的可能性，分析了普遍采用的发电方法及其理由，探讨了有关厨余管理的法律法规以及可持续能源解决方案的前景。
