Assessing Biomass-Based Methanol Production via Electrified Gasification and Solar-Assisted CO
Article in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigates an electrified biomass-to-methanol synthesis pathway integrated with carbon utilization and renewable energy technologies. Two representative feedstock categories are assessed, namely, lignocellulosic biomass (pine) and agri-food wastes (spent coffee grounds, SCG). Process simulations are conducted in Aspen Plus for four configurations: a fully electrified base case powered by grid electricity, a solar-assisted variant of base case, a methanation-enhanced configuration of base case, and a hybrid system combining both solar electricity and methanation. An advanced process optimization framework is applied to enhance waste heat recovery, power generation, and utility integration, while identifying the minimum energy requirements (MER) of each configuration. Electrification of gasification and reforming processes enhances carbon utilization, achieving carbon efficiencies of 61.6% for lignocellulose and 52.6% for agri-food waste. Methanation further improves carbon recovery to 82.9 and 68.4%, while solar integration increases efficiencies to 87.3 and 73.6%, respectively. Feedstock cost remains the dominant driver of the minimum selling price (MSP), whereas solar integration significantly reduces external utility dependence. Carbon credits for captured biogenic CO
