Over the last years, the pretreatment of biomass as a source of energy has become one of the most important steps of … biomass conversion. In this work the effect of a mild subcritical hydrothermal carbonization of a tropical woody biomass was …

The two major pathways for energy utilization from biomass are conversion to a liquid fuel (<i>i.e.</i>, biofuels) or … conversion to electricity (<i>i.e.</i>, biopower). In the United States (US), biomass policy has focused on biofuels. However … percentage of biomass with coal) (5%–10% biomass), medium co-firing (15%–20% biomass), and dedicated biomass firing (100% biomass …

Understanding and modeling of coal and biomass pyrolysis assume particular importance being the first step occurring in … materials, which represent very different classes of energy source: a microalgae biomass and a sub-bituminous coal. The model …

Biomass is relatively cleaner than coal and is the only renewable carbon resource that can be directly converted into … fuel. Biomass can significantly contribute to the world’s energy needs if harnessed sustainably. However, there are also … problems associated with the thermal conversion of biomass.
