This paper presents a detailed review of the energy potential from residual biomass for
distributed generation in Brazil, presenting the potential by macro-region of the different …

The objective of this paper is to give an overview of the programs, projects and technologies
related to the use of biofuels in Brazil. An evaluation of the biomass availability and …

Recently, an active debate has emerged around greenhouse gas emissions due to indirect
land use change (iLUC) of expanding agricultural areas dedicated to biofuel production. In …

There are major expectations that bioenergy will supply large amounts of CO2 neutral
energy for the future. A large-scale expansion of energy crop production would lead to a …

Biomass fuels currently (1994) supply around 14% of the world's energy, but most of this is
in the form of traditional fuelwood, residues and dung, which is often inefficient and can be …

In this paper, the concept of System Functions of Innovation Systems is applied to provide an
explanation of the success or failure of an emerging technology, ie biomass gasification …

Rapidly developing international bio-energy trade may evolve over time into a “commodity
market” which can secure supply and demand in a sustainable way; sustainability being a …

A project-level assessment of monetary and carbon costs and benefits for five classes of
global warming response options in the forest sector is attempted for typical Brazilian …

Promotion of energy from biomass for reducing greenhouse gas emissions has led to
increased usage of freshwater, especially during the cultivation of biomass. This has raised …

Integrating gasifiers with gas turbines, aeroderivative gas turbines in particular, makes it
possible to achieve high efficiencies and low unit capital costs in modest-scale biomass …
