Time Length: ~60 MIn
Description: Biomass accounts about 80% of the energy generated by renewable energy carriers worldwide. Biomass is the only carbon-based renewable energy source which can directly substitute fossil fuels. Biomass is also the only renewable energy source that can be stored and converted to heat, electricity and fuels (i.e. solid, liquid and gaseous) when they are needed. The demand for energy produced from biomass (bioenergy) is constantly growing due to it’s wider spectrum of applications. There are numerous technologies for the conversion of biomass into useful forms of energy. With the recent rapid development of biomass conversion technologies and increasing demand for decentralized, low-emission generation, the knowledge of efficient applications of modern bioenergy systems is important in the context of energy shortage and climate change. This presentation reviews the advances in the thermochemical conversion of biomass in to energy, i.e. pyrolysis, gasification and combustion.
