Utilisation of poultry litter as an energy feedstock.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined poultry litter (PL) as a resource in fuel quality terms and illustrates how the small scale application of fluidized bed technology solves both energy and waste problems, while producing a nutrient rich ash.

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.
