Notas do Editor

  1. ==Range of biomass feedstock -> Agri residues -> dedicated energy crops -> forest residues -> urban wood wastes -> wood mill waste
  2. Plasma gasification - - breaking down matterat the atomic level by exposing it to very high temperature plasma arcs
  3. Raw biomass has relatively low-energy density, too much moisture, is too hygroscopic, can rot during storage and difficult to grind into small particles. Numerous pre-treatment methods have been suggested, key being torrefactionTorrefaction results in:Increased energy densityDecreased volumeof biomassDecreased amount of volatilesIncreased amount of fixed carbon
