Climate neutrality is becoming a core long-term competitiveness asset within the aviation
industry, as demonstrated by the several innovations and targets set within that sector, prior …

In the pursuit of renewable sources of energy, biomass is emerging as a promising resource
because of its abundance and carbon neutral nature. Pyrolysis is a prevailing technology for …

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 paper provides an updated review on thermal conversion of biomass for the production
of liquid products referred as bio-oil. This technology is described focusing on the …

This unique handbook presents both the theory and application of biomass combustion and
co-firing, from basic principles to industrial combustion and environmental impact, in a clear …

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 …

Hydrothermal technologies are broadly defined as chemical and physical transformations in
high-temperature (200–600° C), high-pressure (5–40 MPa) liquid or supercritical water. This …

The annual bark yield in Canada is as much as 17 million m 3. Currently, more than half of
the bark is incinerated or landfilled and the remainder of the bark is mainly used as a cheap …

Bio-oil was produced at 450° C by fast pyrolysis in a continuous auger reactor. Four feed
stocks were used: pine wood, pine bark, oak wood, and oak bark. After extensive …

The energy requirement for biomass comminution and the resulting particle physical
properties are important factors to study logistic components, select equipment, and assess …
