Gasification is an indirect combustion of solid and liquid biomass by converting them to combustive syngas. Gasification is an alternative process for the traditional combustion, in which the emission of dust and toxic gases can be minimized. In this chapter, a comparison of these two biomass-to-heat conversion processes applied on biomass is presented

Effect of Biomass Carbonization on the Grinding of Coal/Biomass Mixtures [PDF]
To increase the co-firing ratio of biomass in existing pulverized coal-fired power plants, biomass should be pulverized to obtain a particle size suitable for combustion. However, evaluation of the particle size distribution of each coal and biomass mixture via traditional fuel analysis is difficult.

Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Conversion of Sweet Whey to Bioethanol: A Bioremediation Alternative for Dairy Industry
In many countries, whey from the dairy industry is an abundant waste that generates an important environmental impact. Alternative processes to use the whey and minimize the environmental impact are needed.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Energy from Biomass for Conversion of Biomass
Along with estimates of minimum energy required by steam explosion pretreatment of biomass some general problems concerning biomass conversion into chemicals, materials, and fuels are discussed. The energy necessary for processing biomass by steam explosion auto-hydrolysis is compared with the heat content of wood and calculated in terms of the amount ...
