2. 1. Small-scale combustion of agricultural biomass fuels

   Author : Lara Carvalho; Markus Broström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The ambitious targets of the European Union in increasing the use of renewable energies to 20% of Europe’s energy needs, call for urgent changes, including in the biomass sector. The share of solid biomass for heating purposes could be further increased by replacing oil- and gas-fired furnaces with biomass boilers and by expanding the spectrum of biomass raw materials for small-scale combustion systems.

4. 2. Factors that Influence the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) Test : Steps towards the Standardisation of BMP Test

   Author : Bing Wang; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : Anaerobic Digestion; Biochemical Methane Potential; Degradation Kinetics; Lignocellulosic Biomass; Mixing; Pre-treatment; Standardisation;

   Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) has gained increasing attention nowadays as an approach for both waste treatment and renewable energy generation. Currently, many different types of materials can be used as feedstock for biogas production via AD process, but their biodegradability (based on methane yield, BDCH4) and potential to produce biogas might vary significantly, and these properties are key parameters that should be taken into consideration for economy, design and operation of a full-scale biogas plant during the selection of potential feedstock.

5. 3. Biogas Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass : Impact of pre-treatment, co-digestion, harvest time and inoculation

   Author : Chao LI; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; Lignocellulosic biomass; Pretreatment; Co-digestion; Inoculation;

   Abstract : Biogas or methane production through anaerobic digestion (AD) is gaining increasing attention worldwide due to concerns over global warming, energy security and the need for sustainable waste management. AD of lignocellulosic biomass is one facet that is highly appreciated since the conflict over biomass for food/feed or energy can be avoided. READ MORE

6. 4. Char conversion kinetics and aerosol characterization in biomass gasification

   Author : Leteng Lin; Michael Strand; Alberto Gómez-Barea; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass gasification; fluidized bed; char; kinetics; aerosol; APS; TEOM; Bioenergiteknik Energi- och Miljöteknik; Bioenergy Technology;

   Abstract : Biomass gasification is a thermochemical conversion by partial oxidation at elevated temperature of solid biomass into a gaseous energy carrier. The product gas contains the major components CO, H2, CO2, CH4, as well as some tar and inorganic impurities and solid particles such as ash, bed material, soot and char. READ MORE

7. 5. Characterization of particulate matter from atmospheric fluidized bed biomass gasifiers

   Author : Eva Gustafsson; Michael Strand; Marcus Öhman; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : biomass gasification; fluidized bed; particulate matter; particle morphology; particle elementary composition; Bioenergiteknik Energi- och Miljöteknik; Bioenergy Technology;

   Abstract : Through biomass gasification, biomass can be converted at high temperature to a product gas rich in carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. After cleaning and upgrading, the product gas can be converted to biofuels such as hydrogen; methanol; dimethyl ether; and synthetic diesel, gasoline, and natural gas. READ MORE
