The great variety of biomass species offers unique features for synergistic optimization of process outcomes. In this work, spent mushroom substrate and bagasse with optimize ratio were processed to produce value-added products of activated carbon and biofuel yet achieve negative CO₂ emission. By integrating experimental characterization, this work uses process simulation, techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment to evaluate the techno-economic viability and CO₂ footprint of processes with single or dual-/mixed-biomass feedstocks. The combination of biomass species provides unique match of the production of flue gas and primary carbon that is critical for the optimization of mass and energy flow. Such combination has been demonstrated effective to improve product yield and energy efficiency. Results show that mixed biomass feedstock offers favourable figures such as high carbon efficiency of 66.74%, short payback period of 3.16 years, considerable net present value of 80.48 million dollars, and low GWP of −2.37 kg CO₂-eq.
