Devolatilization of Biomass Fuels and Biomass Components Studied by TG/FTIR Technique
TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed that biomass fuels represent a renewable energy source, they are CO2 neutral fuels, and their use reduces the consumption of fossil fuels and limits the emissions of SOx, NOx, and heavy metals.Abstract:
