The current bioenergy uses and conversion technologies as well as future trends for the
production of heat, power, fuels and chemicals from biomass are reviewed. The focus is …

Wood chip quality is essential for failure-free and low-emission combustion in automatically
stoked small-scale biomass boilers (< 100 kW). Screening and drying of wood chips might …

Abstract Water Boiling Test (WBT) was carried out to quantify carbon monoxide (CO) and
particulate matter (PM 2.5) emissions. Typical rural kitchen environment was modeled using …

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an upcoming technique for optimization
and as a part of the design process of biomass combustion systems. An accurate simulation …

Nearly 40% of the world's population still relies on biomass stoves as their primary cooking
source. Indoor cooking with biomass stoves produces harmful emissions such as fine …

The introduction of wood chips into the market for small-scale heating appliances of below
100 kW has become more challenging due to stricter regulations on emission levels for …

Biomass combustion performance is greatly affected by the particle size distribution, which
influences heat and mass transport phenomena. The present work investigates the effect of …

Ash-related issues such as fouling and slagging are likely the main operational problems of
most commercial solid fuel burners. To study this kind of system, a full 3D-transient bed …

The emissions from traditional biomass combustion systems for cooking and heating are,
globally, the main cause for premature mortality as a result of air pollution. A staged …

The relevance of the greenhouse gas N 2 O was investigated in two small-scale biomass
combustion plants, a 30-kW fixed bed and a 70-kW moving grate furnace, both of which use …
