Stochastic techno-economic evaluation model for biomass supply chain: A biomass gasification case study with supply chain uncertainties

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a feasibility evaluation on the feasibility of a biomass gasification process, with the consideration of various supply chain uncertainties via Monte Carlo simulation (i.e., biomass supply, biomass quality, biomass pricing, transportation fuel price, and syngas sale price).

Effects of reaction temperature, time and particle size on switchgrass microwave pyrolysis and reaction kinetics

TL;DR: In this article, microwave pyrolysis of switchgrass with particle sizes from 0.5 mm to 4 mm was investigated and the effects of reaction temperature and time on the yields of bio-oil, syngas, and bio-char were determined.

Techno-economic and environmental assessment of anaerobic co-digestion plants under different energy scenarios: A case study in Morocco

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the feasibility of anaerobic co-digestion plants in four Moroccan cities (i.e., Casablanca, Agadir, Temara, and Essaouira).

A comparative financial analysis of fast pyrolysis plants in southwest oregon

TL;DR: In this paper, the expected financial performance of a mobile and a fixed pyrolysis plant in southwest Oregon, where stocks of forest biomass are high, is investigated. And the tradeoffs between using a smaller plant deployed in the forest and a larger centralized plant are then discussed.

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, +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

Jim Coombs
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.
