Co-combustion performance trials of Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) and peat were conducted using a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor. In the combustion performance trials the effects of the co-combustion of MBM and peat on flue gas emissions, bed fluidization, ash agglomeration tendency in the bed...

One tactic for mitigating climate change associated with human-origin CO2 releases is to promote C storage in biomass, particularly trees. The economic value of C storage associated with woodland can be compared to the costs (or benefits) of other strategies for mitigating climate change. Models...
