11. Energy and material recovery from high-ash waste through pyrolysis
Abstract : Undoubtedly, the past practices of profit maximisation by all means, which fuelled swift industrialisation and urbanisation, left behind a legacy of non-sanitary old landfills polluting the environment. These, together with active landfills supplied with tremendous streams of waste produced annually, are a loose cannon calling for action. READ MORE

12. A framework for supply chain configuration for a biomass-to-energy pre-treatment process
Abstract : A transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources such as biomass is an environmentally sustainable pathway. However, increased use of biomass is hampered by a number of barriers regarding movement of energy: through place, through time and through existing energy infrastructure. READ MORE

13. Thermochemical behavior of pretreated biomass
Abstract : Mankind has to provide a sustainable alternative to its energy related problems. Bioenergy is considered as one of the potential renewable energy resources and as a result bioenergy market is also expected to grow dramatically in future. However, logistic issues are of serious concern while considering biomass as an alternative to fossil fuel. READ MORE

14. From Combined Heat and Power to Polygeneration
Abstract : In order to reach targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil resources it is necessary to reduce energy losses in production processes. In polygeneration, several processes are combined to complement each other to avoid sub-optimization of the standalone processes. READ MORE

15. Characterization and densification of carbonized lignocellulosic biomass
Abstract : This thesis focuses on developing two main areas: characterization and densification of carbonized lignocellulosic biomass. Thermally treated biomass undergoes changes that enrich the content of carbon in the remaining solid fraction. READ MORE
