Can Agriculture Balance Its Energy Consumption and Continue to Produce Food? A Framework for Assessing Energy Neutrality Applied to French Agriculture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that current agriculture is structurally energy deficient to such an extent that its functional energy requirements almost equal its final produce, and that only a suppression of feed from cropland combined with very high energy recovery from agricultural residues could allow achieving energy neutrality and making agriculture a net energy source to society.

Review on Solid Waste Generation and Management in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Study of Nigeria
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported an intensive review on solid wastes generation and management in sub-Sahara Africa using Nigeria as a case study and observed that biodegradable solid waste that can be managed via the biogas technology and landfill technology have the highest percentage fraction while the remaining fraction that comprised of non-biodegradability and combustible solid waste can bemanaged via other technology such as incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, etc.

Production of phenolic chemicals from hydrolysis lignin via catalytic fast pyrolysis
Hooman Paysepar,Kasanneni Tirumala Venkateswara Rao,Zhongshun Yuan,Hengfu Shui,Chunbao (Charles) Xu,Chunbao (Charles) Xu +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of catalytic fast pyrolysis of hydrolysis lignin was investigated in a drop-tube fixed bed reactor at different temperatures ranging between 400-800°C using zeolite X as a catalyst for the production of phenolic chemicals.

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.
