This paper describes the potential applications of renewable energy sources to replace
fossil fuel combustion as the prime energy sources in various countries, and discusses …

The sustainability of electricity generation from biomass has been assessed in this work
according to the key indicators of price, efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, availability …

The power cost and optimum plant size for power plants using three biomass fuels in
western Canada were determined. The three fuels are biomass from agricultural residues …

This review compiled the data from recent actual and simulation studies on toxic emissions
from open burning and categorized into sources, broadly as biomass and anthropogenic …

Minimum production cost and optimum plant size were determined for pellet plants using
agricultural biomass residue from wheat, barley and oats. Three scenarios involving …

Dioxins, formed in any combustion process where carbon, oxygen and chlorine are present,
are a subject of major interest due to their carcinogenicity. Much research has been carried …

A detailed model based on a non-dimensional transportation factor is developed to assess
the economics of biomass collection, transportation, and storage. The optimum plant size for …

The gasification of cedar wood in the presence of Rh/CeO2/SiO2 has been conducted in the
laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor using air as a gasifying agent at low temperatures …

Wood and agricultural crop residues are abundant, renewable and relatively low cost
biomasses. Their combustion can replace fossil fuels in several applications. A major …

Using sustainably-grown biomass as the sole fuel, or co-fired with coal, is an effective way of
reducing the net CO2 emissions from a combustion power plant. There may be a reduction …
