Significance and Challenges of Biomass as a Suitable Feedstock for Bioenergy and Biochemical Production: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the significance of biomass for different generations of biofuels, and biochemical and thermochemical processes, and the importance of biorefinery products, and conclude that non-edible lignocellulosic biomass is an alternative bio-source for creating 2nd generation bio-fuel and algae biomass for 3rd and 4th generation bio fuels.

Recent progress in the direct liquefaction of typical biomass

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the recent research progress in the liquefaction of typical biomass from a new perspective is presented, which summarizes five aspects of related work: first, the effect of solvent type on the liquidation behaviors of biomass; second, the biomass type on liquidation behavior; third, the liquidization behavior of biomass in sub-/super-critical ethanol; fourth, liquidation behaviour of bioenergy in organic solvent mixed solvents; and fifth, liquidization behaviour of sewage sludge.

Modeling of biomass-to-energy supply chain operations: Applications, challenges and research directions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review and classification of the excising literature in modeling of biomass supply chain operations while linking them to the wider strategic challenges and issues with the design, planning and management of the biomass supply chains.

Pyrolysis of palm oil wastes for enhanced production of hydrogen rich gases

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature, residence time and catalyst adding on the yields and distribution of hydrogen rich gas products were investigated, and the effect of adding Ni showed the greatest catalytic effect with the maximum H 2 yield achieved at 29.78% of the raw biomass sample basis.

Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass

TL;DR: The methods by which useful energy may be extracted from macroalgae biomass are reviewed including: direct combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, trans-esterification to biodiesel, hydrothermal liquefaction, fermentation to bioethanol, fermenting to biobutanol and anaerobic digestion.

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.
