1. Fine particle emissions and slag formation in fixed-bed biomass combustion : aspects of fuel engineering
Abstract : There is a consensus worldwide that the share of renewable energy sources should be increased to mitigate climate change. The strive to increase the renewable energy fraction can partly be met by an increased utilization of different biomass feedstocks. READ MORE

2. Fine and ultrafine particle exposure: Health effects and biomarkers
Abstract : Particle, especially fine and ultrafine particle exposure has been linked to lower airway infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease, stroke and cancer. The underlying mechanisms are under active investigation, and are still not fully understood. READ MORE

3. Deriving effective forces for mesoscopic particle simulations
Abstract : In the field of molecular simulations, the long-standing aim has been to study mechanisms that cannot easily be observed in experiments or understood in terms of more abstract models. This is hard for systems of mesoscopic size (proteins, membranes etc. READ MORE

4. Particle Emissions from District Heating Units Operating on Solid Biofuels
Abstract : With the increasing interest in the use of biofuels for heat and energy generation there is a growing concern about emissions from their combustion. It has been shown that biofuel furnaces emit relatively high quantities of particulate matter in comparison to natural gas and light fuel oil furnaces. READ MORE

5. Characteristic Properties and Applications of Fine Particles in Biomass Gasification
Abstract : The gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. READ MORE
