Overview

Mixed-method review explores digital tools in bioenergy, highlighting barriers and opportunities for advancement.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the current state and challenges of digital technologies in bioenergy systems through literature review, workshops, and surveys.
  • Conducted a systematic review of 231 peer-reviewed articles focused on operational bioenergy insights from 2012–2025.
  • Facilitated an academic–industrial workshop with 80+ participants to gather insights on digital tool applications.
  • Administered a targeted survey to 22 UK bioenergy professionals, assessing expertise and barriers in digital tool deployment.
  • Identified seven categories of digital tools used in bioenergy, with AI and machine learning being the most prevalent.
  • Barriers to digital tool adoption include fragmented data infrastructure and skills gaps, as reported by UK professionals.
  • Key opportunities for advancement are real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization.
