Liquid fuels from woody biomass
Although challenges like global climate change and oil depletion will increasingly drive fuel selection, increasing bioenergy use is only one of many possible responses to these problems. Present biomass liquid fuels are almost all derived from food crops, but their potential for further expansion is limited. Any major expansion of biomass liquid fuels will require use of the more abundant ...

Why You Ought To Have A Pyrolysis Machine This Year
The conversion of raw materials into something more useful is very easy to do with the correct machinery. Among the finest forms of machines is actually a pyrolysis machine which can convert rubber tires, more organic material, into burnable fuel. Charcoal may be the byproduct that is certainly most abundant within this conversion. There will also be biofuel which you can use. This can be done ...

Biogas : Biomethane = Dietary fiber : Waste fibers
How to successfully manage change with waste fibers in your plant. It is no coincidence that biogas technology is following a development trajectory towards biomethane production. In the energy and climate scenarios, in fact, the use of fossil carbon-based energy sources is under the magnifying glass of all scientists for their enormous impact on the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the ...

Biomass and Integration in Future Energy Systems and the Bioeconomy
Biomass was the primary source of materials and energy until the industrial revolution set off a series of major changes around two hundred years ago. In the industrialized world fossil fuels became the primary source for energy in the forms of electricity and heat and provided almost all fuels for transport. However, biomass continued to maintain an important role in the economies in both ...

Biofuels: Let`s look before we leap
by David Dickson, Science and Development Network A commitment to biofuels should be based on a careful assessment of their prospective benefits and costs, not a blind leap of faith. Several years ago, faced with growing food shortages, the government of Burma — now Myanmar — ordered farmers throughout the country to start growing rice, whatever type of land they owned. But rice proved to be ...
