Simulation of emission performance and combustion efficiency in biomass fired circulating fluidized bed combustors.
TL;DR: In this paper, the combustion efficiency and the emission performance of biomass fired CFBs are tested via a previously published 2D model, which efficiently simulates the outcome with respect to the excess air values, which is the main parameter that is verified.

Assessing the implementation levels of oil palm waste conversion methods in Malaysia and the challenges of commercialisation: Towards sustainable energy production
Hadiza A. Umar,Hadiza A. Umar,Shaharin Anwar Sulaiman,M.A. Meor Said,Afsin Gungor,Muhammad Shahbaz,Muddasser Inayat,Rabi K. Ahmad +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an intensive literature review on five conversion technologies broadly classified as thermochemical (combustion, gasification and pyrolysis) and biological (anaerobic digestion and fermentation) to identify the extent to which each process has been adopted.

Waste Wood Biomass Arising from Pruning of Urban Green in Viterbo Town: Energy Characterization and Potential Uses
TL;DR: The use of residual biomass arising from urban green pruning for energy production is a current and interesting subject for three main reasons: to achieve the aims of the Kyoto Protocol, to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and to manage the urban green in a sustainable way.

Performance improvement in olive stone's combustion from a previous carbonization transformation
Aurora Gomez-Martin,Aurora Gomez-Martin,Ricardo Chacartegui,Joaquín Ramírez-Rico,Joaquín Ramírez-Rico,Julián Martínez-Fernández,Julián Martínez-Fernández +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main mechanisms of thermochemical transformation of an abundant agricultural waste, olive stone, into biochar products via slow carbonization are analyzed, with emphasis on the effect of peak carbonization temperature.

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.
