National biomass energy program in Thailand
In Thailand, about 80% of the total energy used is from conventional energy sources and almost half of the energy used is imported. Biomass energy is seen to be the most promising compared to other renewable energy sources. This paper aims to examine the past, present and future trends of the energy situation in the country. The roles of both the authorities and stakeholders in biomass ...

Driving factors of non-commercial biomass consumption: a multivariate approach
The rising global energy requirement, which is driven mainly by population and economic growth, plays a critical role in the world's economic and social development. Different levels and patterns of energy use reflect various developmental stages of countries' economies, including biomass as an important element of the global energy framework. This paper provides an assessment of the relative ...

Commercialisation options for biomass energy technologies in ESCAP countries
Biomass provides the basic energy requirements for cooking and heating in rural households and for processes in a variety of traditional industries in developing countries. In general, biomass energy uses in such cases are characterised by low efficiency. Potentially, efficiency improvements of existing energy systems could increase the energy supply from biomass substantially. Also, wide ranges ...

Wood fuels sources and markets
Biomass energy is an important source of energy in most Asian countries. Households and industries use substantial amounts of fuel wood, charcoal and other biomass energy, such as agricultural residues, dung, leaves and sawmill residues. The main household applications are cooking and heating whereas industrial applications range widely. This paper provides an overview of estimates on the ...

China To Double Ethanol Production by 2020
On December 5, 2016, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) published a five-year plan that aims to increase ethanol production to four million tons by 2020 despite the government maintaining strict control over the use of food grains. The target remains unchanged from the previous five-year plan that ended in 2015. NEA intends to increase the share of non-fossil fuel consumption from 12 ...

Research and development on biomass energy in China
Like developed countries, China is facing two serious constraints energy shortage and environmental pollution, which hinder the development of the national economy and improvements in living conditions. On the other hand, China has a huge amount of biomass resource. It is estimated that the total amount of biomass resource is up to 5.2x108 tons of oil equivalent (TOE) in which crop residue ...

Economic prospects of advanced biomass-based energy carriers in EU-15 up to 2050
Biomass-based energy carriers (BBEC) especially advanced ones such as biofuels, hydrogen and electricity from biomass are often considered to have the potential to contribute to reduction of GHG emissions. In this paper we conduct an analysis of the economic prospects and potentials of advanced BBEC in EU-15 countries up to 2050. We show which energy output from these energy carriers can be ...

Cooking energy. Why it really matters if we are to halve poverty by 2015. Household Energy Programme (HERA)
Key facts you should know about energy for cooking. Cooking energy accounts for about 90 percent of all household energy consumption in developing countries. Worldwide, 2.5 billion people use biomass fuels for cooking. These include firewood, charcoal, dung and agricultural residues. Biomass fuels are often the only available energy source, especially in rural areas. In most Sub-Saharan ...

Solutions for the exploitation of biomass energy in mountain regions
Using tow-cables to extract and transport biomass to forest paths Many forests are located on mountainous terrain with steep slopes, making their exploitation not economically viable, at least with traditional methods. This can lead to the abandonment of such hilly woodlands, giving rise to rodent infestation or forest fires, with resulting damage to the woods themselves and to surrounding ...

Shannon entropy for energy technologies ex-ante evaluation
Most of the international literature has used Shannon entropy to measure the information gap. In this paper we propose a method that uses Shannon entropy to evaluate ex-ante energy technologies in a decision making process. It was called ITEM, i.e., Information Theory Energy technology ex-ante evaluation Method. The aim was to have a suitable tool for characterising the most critical project ...

Energy from biomass and waste – case studies in China
With its vast territory and abundant biomass resources, China appears to have suitable conditions to develop biomass energy. It has long been recognised that it is important to develop advanced technologies for conversion of biomass into clean and convenient fuels in order to raise the efficiency of biomass energy utilisation and alleviate air pollution. Through past efforts some progress in ...

The promotion and development of renewable energy technologies: current status and pattern of use in Nepal
This paper presents the current status and pattern of use of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in Nepal. The importance of the renewable energy development paradigm is considered in the overall context of national development by supplying the energy requirements of rural areas by the use of available biomass resources whilst also protecting the environment. The RETs popular in the rural energy ...

Green Energy Fuel by Briquettes Machine
Now a day’s demand of energy is increasing very rapidly but we have the limited sources to satisfy the energy requirements. This energy demand is expected to grow almost by half over in the next two decades. So it is causing fear that our resources will run out by future. This will lead to shocking consequences of global economy. On the other side, Due to the emission of carbon dioxide ...

The techno-economic assessment of biomass pyrolysis gasification system for central gas supply: a case study of Jinzhou
The techno-economic assessment of biomass pyrolysis gasification system for central gas supply was conducted using cost and profit method. From the results, it can be seen that Net Present Value (at discount rate of 10%), profit/Cost, and Internal Return Rate of financial analysis in village level under the subsidy of government were 5.61 ? 104 Yuan, 1.09 and 13%, respectively. And Net Present ...
