Meng, F., Ibbett, R., de Vrije, T., Metcalf, P., Tucker, G., & McKechnie, J. (2019). Process simulation and life cycle assessment of converting autoclaved municipal solid waste into butanol and ethanol as transport fuels. Waste Management, 89, 177-189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2019.04.003

In 2015/2016, the total municipal solid waste (MSW) collected by local authority in the U.K. was 26 million tonnes and over 57% is still put into landfill or incinerated. MSW is a promising feedstock for bio-butanol production as it has a high lignoc...
