Some byproducts of the Kraft pulp mills, such as the black liquor (1.4 t/t ADpulp, 15% solids), still contain more than half of the exergy content of the total wood fed to the digester. This residue represents a key supply of renewable energy to the pulp a ...
Biomass conversion into either electricity or biofuels requires various energy intensive processes that may drastically affect its technical and environmental competitiveness against their non-renewable counterparts. Therefore, in this paper, a comparative ...
Exergy and environmental analyses have been developed to determine the performance of the electricity generation in the Dutch mix. A comparative assessment of diverse technological routes, including fossil and renewable energy resources consumption, is car ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...
The use of biomass gasification for partially or totally replacing methane in the integrated syngas and ammonia production plant is compared with the performance of the conventional route, typically based on steam methane reforming. However, by undertaking ...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions leading to climate change require to use of renewable carbon sources such as CO2 and biomass which differ from fossil resources by having a higher number of oxygen atoms. Therefore, catalytic C-O bond cleavage will pl ...
The upgrade of sugarcane industry residues, such as vinasse and bagasse, has a notably potential for large scale production of biofuels in Brazil. Despite this fact, the biomass conversion into either electricity or biofuels requires various energy intensi ...
Steady increase in global energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and depletion of fossil energy resources, together with increased attention towards sustainable development has prompted researchers to discover economical and environmentally competit ...
The requirement for sustainable development has prompted the researchers to explore solutions for better utilization of renewable energy resources in the future. Biomass is a promising resource and it can be converted to multiple products and services incl ...
Biomass is an attractive source of renewable carbon-based fuels and chemicals. Multiple research efforts are centered around integrated biorefineries, where all fractions of biomass are converted to fuels or chemical products. These efforts are focused aro ...
