The thermal decomposition of woody biomass in the absence of oxygen, or pyrolysis, is a
series of complex reactions involving hundreds of compounds. The species of residue, form …

This paper reviews literature on co-firing of coal with biomass fuels. Here, the term biomass
includes organic matter produced as a result of photosynthesis as well as municipal …

Fast pyrolysis utilizes biomass to produce a product that is used both as an energy source
and a feedstock for chemical production. Considerable efforts have been made to convert …

This review presents the summary of new studies on pyrolysis of biomass to produce fuels
and chemical feedstocks. A number of biomass species, varying from woody and …

The paper reviews the pyrolysis of biomass constituents and possible secondary reactions.
Biomass pyrolysis yields mostly liquid and solid fuel, easy to store and transport. Relevant …

Fundamental pyrolysis/gasification characteristics of natural biomass and acid-washed
biomass without alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEM) were investigated by a …

As the global demand for energy rapidly increases and fossil fuels will be soon exhausted,
bio‐energy has become one of the key options for shorter and medium term substitution for …

Biomass residues in the Mediterranean region come mainly from agricultural and agro-
industrial activities and forest byproducts. The paper presents the results of kinetic …

Pyrolysis and gasification are two of the more promising utilization methods for the
conversion of biomass toward a clean fuel source. To truly understand and model these …

The amount of waste furniture generated in Korea was over 2.4 million tons in the past 3
years, which can be used for renewable energy or fuel feedstock production. Fast pyrolysis …
