Sustainability aspects of biomass gasification systems for small power generation

TL;DR: A review of the aspects related to the sustainability of the biomass gasification and the use of syngas from biomass for small-scale power generation is presented, taking as a frame of reference the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the UN as mentioned in this paper.

Valorisation of oil palm wastes into high yield and energy content biochars via slow pyrolysis: Multivariate process optimisation and combustion kinetic studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the interactive effects of several synthesis parameters (nitrogen flowrate, heating rate, pyrolysis temperature and time) on two responses, viz biochar yield and higher heating value (HHV), were simultaneously assayed.

Is biomass liquefaction an option for the viability of poplar short rotation coppices? A preliminary experimental approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that poplar biomass liquefaction can be a possible route for the generation of high valued chemical products and thereby to potentiate the increase of areas allocated to woody short rotation coppices (SRCs) and at the same time producing a liquid biofuel.

An efficient multiphase bioprocess for enhancing the renewable energy production from almond shells

TL;DR: Linking of biochemical conversion process with thermochemical process viz., pyrolysis to produce biochar from almond shell residue, could be seen as an effective strategy for waste management and for enhancing the economic viability of the process.

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.
