CFD modelling of the fast pyrolysis of biomass in fluidised bed reactors: Modelling the impact of biomass shrinkage

, 2009
The fluid–particle interaction and the impact of shrinkage on pyrolysis of biomass inside a 150 g/h fluidised bed reactor is modelled. Two 500 m in diameter biomass particles are injected into the fluidised bed with different shrinkage conditions.

Can Foraging for Earthworms Significantly Reduce Global Famine in a Catastrophe?

Biomass
Earthworms are a resilient group of species thriving in varied habitats through feeding on decaying organic matter, and are therefore predicted to survive an abrupt sunlight reduction scenario, e.g., a nuclear winter.

Assessing the sustainability of biomass supply chains for energy exploitation

, 2014
Biomass use has increased significantly lately, partly due to conventional fuels price increase. This trend is more evident in rural areas with significant local biomass availability. Biomass may be used in various ways to generate heat.

From Citrus Waste to Valuable Resources: A Biorefinery Approach

Biomass
Typically, citrus waste is composted on land by producers or used as livestock feed. However, the biorefinery approach offers a sustainable and economically viable solution for managing and valorizing these agricultural residues.
