Global population growth, modernization, and industrialization have all significantly
increased energy consumption, which has worsened the climate and led to greenhouse gas …

Global efforts to mitigate climate change are based on forecasts of future warmer
temperatures on the earth's surface. Climate warming is caused by the positive radiative …

In this work, a thermogravimetric analyser was used to assess the pyrolysis kinetics of
pineapple, orange and mango peel wastes and agro-industrial by-products, rice husk and …

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is a co-product of the thermochemical conversion of
biomass to liquid or gaseous products. A possible high-value application of biochar is the …

Co-gasification of plastics with biomass is an attractive energy-recovery option to handle the
plastic waste generated by society and requires further study. This work presents a …

Sustainable energy production through conversion of biomass has recently found growing
interest. Among thermochemical conversion techniques, gasification is of interest to replace …

Biomass is a kind of carbon neutral renewable energy source and considered as a potential
alternative to fossil fuels. Thermochemical conversion technologies, including direct …

This work pursues the validation of a new reactor for the evaluation of char gasification
kinetics. This novel reactor allows continuous gas flow through the fixed bed sample and …

The modelling of biomass gasification enables the optimization of the process designs, but it
is a challenge due to its high complexity. Here a model for prediction of the performance of a …

The steam gasification of pinewood sawdust derived char has been studied in a conical
spouted bed reactor. The effect temperature (in the 800–900° C range), steam partial …
