Overview

Scoping review maps application-oriented valorization pathways for agro-industrial residues across multiple sectors, highlighting systemic operational and regulatory barriers to industrial scale-up.

Key Points

  • Map application-oriented valorization pathways for agro-industrial residues across sectors and operational scales while identifying critical implementation barriers, facilitators, and governance factors.
  • Conducted a scoping review in accordance with Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and PRISMA-ScR standards.
  • Queried the Web of Science Core Collection across all publication years and languages, ultimately synthesizing 30 peer-reviewed studies published between 1996 and 2026.
  • Vegetable oil and oilseed residues represented the most frequently examined feedstocks (40.0% of studies), while industrial- or plant-level implementations constituted 30.0% of evaluated settings.
  • Energy recovery strategies were the most common route (26.7%), followed by biological approaches (20.0%) and chemical or physicochemical conversions (20.0%).
  • Identified six interconnected implementation domains influencing scale-up: technical and operational, economic and financial, logistical, organizational and governance, regulatory and institutional, and scale-up limitations.
