Biochar is attracting attention as a means for sequestering carbon and as a potentially
valuable input for agriculture to improve soil fertility, aid sustainable production and reduce …

Discounted cash flow analysis, including net present value is an established way to value
land use and management investments which accounts for the time-value of money …

Biomass as a fuel suffers from its bulky, fibrous, high moisture content and low-energy-
density nature, leading to key issues including high transport cost and poor biomass …

This paper presents an investigation of the production of crude bio-oil, char, and pyrolytic
gases from the fast pyrolysis of mallee woody biomass in Australia. The feedstock was …

Biochars were prepared from the pyrolysis of the wood, leaf, and bark components of mallee
biomass in a fixed-bed reactor at 750° C. The results show that the volatilization of inherent …

Reforestation of saline sodic soil is increasingly undertaken as a means of reclaiming
otherwise unproductive agricultural land. Currently, restoration of degraded land is limited to …

Due to the presence of amorphous structure in microcrystalline cellulose, the reactivity of
microcrystalline cellulose exhibits a considerable reduction in the initial stage during …

Biomass growth extracts inorganic nutrients from soil as inherent nutrient species in the
biomass. Unless at least some of these inherent inorganic nutrients are eventually recycled …

Over 30% and∼ 2%(on a carbon basis) organic matter can be leached from mallee leaf and
wood by water, respectively, producing acidic leachates containing organic acids. As a …

We provide a quantitative assessment of the prospects for current and future biomass
feedstocks for bioenergy in A ustralia, and associated estimates of the greenhouse gas …
