TL;DR: In this article, the physical properties of cubes manufactured from fractionated sun-cured and dehydrated alfalfa chops were studied using a single cubing unit, where a hydraulic cubing machine with a maximum capacity of 14.0 MPa was used to apply compressive pressures on the fractionated chops.

TL;DR: The physical characteristics of 3 year old chipped Hybrid Poplar (HP) and Salix (Salix) stems and pellets made from these feedstocks were determined in this paper, where four species of HP and six species of Salix were tested.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the organization of an efficient supply chain in the State of Haryana India to ensure a sustainable modern enterprise and showed that it is economical for the farmer to remove the crop residue from the field quickly by using modern balers, to pelletize the biomass in small-scale distributed pellet plants, to store pellets in modern steel bins and finally to deliver the pellets to coal plants by using rail transport.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the economic feasibility of replacing propane with biomass for grain drying under four scenarios: no carbon pricing/financial support, carbon pricing and a financial incentive program to share the purchase and installation cost of clean technologies such as biomass burners.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotary dryer was used to dry hay to reach a critical temperature of 60 C and remains at these temperatures for at least three minutes, and these temperature and time meet the kill conditions.
