Product Description
Prepared under the auspices of the IEA Bioenergy Research Programme, this unique handbook presents both the theory and applications of biomass combustion and cofiring, from basic principles to industrial combustion and environmental impact, in a clear and comprehensive manner. It offers a solid grounding on biomass combustion and advice on improving combustion systems. Written by leading international academics and industrial experts, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in biomass combustion and co-firing technologies varying from domestic woodstoves to utility scale power generation. The book covers subjects including biomass fuel pre-treatment and logistics, modelling the combustion process, concepts for co-firing biomass with coal and includes an overview of the current R&D needs regarding biomass combustion.

	Energy from Biomass: A Review of Combustion and Gasification Technologies (World Bank Technical Paper) by Hubert E Stassen (Author), Peter Quaak (Author), Harrie Knoef (Author) While energy is essential for development, standard fossil fuels are often in short supply in countries where it is needed most. However, alternative fuel resources abound in the form of agricultural and municipal waste or "biomass." This report reviews the state of the art of biomass combustion and gassification systems, their advantages and disadvantages. It also encourages investment in use of these technologies to enable developing countries to better exploit their biomass resources and...
