Large-size woody biomass is a valuable renewable resource to replace fossil fuels in
biorefinery processes. The preprocessing of wood chips and briquettes is challenging to …

Lignocellulosic wastes have emerged as a potential feedstock in the last decades. There are
multiple reasons for its abundance, easy availability, economic, and abundant sources. It …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a key feedstock for the sustainable production of biofuels,
biobased chemicals and performance materials. Biomass can be efficiently converted into …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

The bio-oil obtained from thermochemical conversions of biomass (wood and agriculture
waste, animal waste, solid waste etc.) can be an alternative to conventional liquid fossil fuels …

Natural fiber-polymer composites (NFPCs) are becoming increasingly utilized in a wide
variety of applications because they represent an ecological and inexpensive alternative to …

Bioenergy derived from biomass provides a promising energy alternative and can reduce
the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from fossil fuels. Biomass-based …

In this work, the conversion of sugarcane bagasse into fuel was studied as a low cost source
material. The conversion was carried out experimentally in a batch pyrolysis reactor. Two …

Torrefaction, a thermal pretreatment process, is gaining attention as it improves the physical
properties and chemical composition of biomass for recycling. During torrefaction, biomass …

Biomass torrefaction has gained widespread attention due to its benefits as a standalone
process to improve biomass properties to be at par or similar to those for coal in electricity …
