Biochar generation from biomass pyrolysis is an appealing and practical technology for
storing carbon and lowering the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon recalcitrance in …

There has been an enormous amount of research in recent years in the area of thermo-
chemical conversion of biomass into bio-fuels (bio-oil, bio-char and bio-gas) through …

Forest biomass is a renewable source that has the potential to substitute fossil fuels in many
applications, from the generation of bioenergy (heat, electricity or transportation fuels) to the …

In recent years, about 370 million tonnes of waste plastic are generated annually with about
9% recycled, 80% landfilled and 11% converted to energy. As recycling of waste plastics are …

The implications for greenhouse gas emissions of optimizing a slow pyrolysis-based
bioenergy system for biochar and energy production rather than solely for energy production …

This paper estimates the economic value of biochar application on agricultural cropland for
carbon sequestration and its soil amendment properties. In particular, we consider the …

Wildfires are getting extreme and more frequent because of increased fuel loads in the forest
and extended dry conditions. Prevention of wildfire by fuel treatment methods will generate …

Recent interest in biomass supply chain management has stimulated research efforts in the
industry and academic communities. Techno-economic modeling and optimization efforts …

Forest residues pose a fire risk as woody biomass remaining in forests after thinning or clear-
felling. Instead of in-field burning, forest residues can be converted into products such as bio …

Minimum production cost and optimum plant size were determined for pellet plants using
agricultural biomass residue from wheat, barley and oats. Three scenarios involving …
