Biomass, availability in Canada, and gasification: an overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared Canada's annual fossil fuel use and biomass carbon yield, as well as their energy contents, and different types of gasifiers and essential factors for successful gasification such as feed stock properties, and pretreatment, gasifier-operating conditions, and problems associated with biomass gasification and syngas conditioning are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on sulfur poisoning and development of advanced anodic materials for waste-to-energy fuel cells applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the hydrogen sulfide effects on MCFC performances for defining the poisoning mechanisms of conventional nickel-based anode, recommending selection criteria of sulfur-tolerant materials, and selecting advanced anodes for MCFC fed with biogas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy production potential of phytoremediation plant biomass: Helianthus annuus and Silybum marianum
TL;DR: Combustion was the most efficient method for energy production compared to anaerobic digestion, while the presence of low concentrations of trace elements in plant biomass did not limit the potential energy recovery.

Cost-opportunity analysis of the use of Posidonia oceanica as a source of bio-energy in tourism-oriented territories. The case of Alghero
Gavino Balata,Alessio Tola +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the pros and cons of the use of Posidonia oceanica as biomass source for anaerobic digestion (AD) in territorial contexts where the presence of large quantities of beached seagrass is also a problem for the tourism economy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.
TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
An assessment of thermochemical conversion systems for processing biomass and refuse
A Bridgwater,G D Evans +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of gasification, pyrolysis and liquefaction technologies for biomass and waste has been conducted to identify processes suitable for opportunities in the UK and Denmark as discussed by the authors.
Bioconversion assessment study
TL;DR: The ENERGIE RENOUVELABLE Reference Record created on 2004-09-07, modified on 2016-08-08 as discussed by the authors was created for the BIOMASSE project.
