Burn biomass burn [co-fired biomass for electricity generation]
Power Engineer, 2004The UK government expects biomass to play a large role in switching part of the country's power generation to renewable sources. The definition of biomass in the Renewables Obligation is wide: it is a substance of which 98% has been derived directly or indirectly from plant or animal matter.

Levoglucosan (LG) emitted from non-biomass burning (non-BB) sources has given rise to biased or even unreasonable source identification results when adopting LG as a distinct marker of biomass burning (BB). The estimation of LG emission and its spatiotemporal variation for various sources are the keys to reducing uncertainty. This study first developed

Climatic effects of biomass burning
Environmental Software, 1996Abstract We have made a series of general circulation model (GCM) and chemical transport model (CTM) simulations to examine further the consequences of biomass burning. We take a three-pronged approach to this study; (1) examine only the direct short-wave forcing of the smoke clouds by imposing smoke ‘clouds’ in the model, (2) examine the indirect ...

Refocus, 2007
Governments that consistently ignore the potential that renewable energy has for the heating market can’t see the wood for the trees. A reFOCUS focus on biomass for heat begins with an overview of the biomass marketplace by Heinz Kopetz, chairman of the European Biomass Association (AEBIOM).

Mercury Emissions from Biomass Burning in China
Environmental Science & Technology, 2011Biomass burning covers open fires (forest and grassland fires, crop residue burning in fields, etc.) and biofuel combustion (crop residues and wood, etc., used as fuel). As a large agricultural country, China may produce large quantities of mercury emissions from biomass burning.

1991
This comprehensive volume is the first to consider biomass burning as a global phenomenon and to assess its impact on the atmosphere, on climate, and on the biosphere itself. The burning of biomass - forests, grasslands, and agricultural fields after the harvest - is much more widespread and extensive than previously believed; most ...

Public communication in unplanned biomass burning events
Inhalation Toxicology, 2009Public communication related to emergency, unplanned, or "wildfire" biomass burning is best understood as a function of the audience for that communication. Two enduring communication models, the Health Belief Model and the Stages of Change or Transtheoretical Model, are instructive in analyzing and preparing differing communication response strategies

Emission of Methyl Bromide from Biomass Burning
Science, 1994Bromine is, per atom, far more efficient than chlorine in destroying stratospheric ozone, and methyl bromide is the single largest source of stratospheric bromine. The two main previously known sources of this compound are emissions from the ocean and from the compound's use as an agricultural pesticide. Laboratory biomass combustion experiments showed

Biomass Burning Sources in China
2017Biomass burning is an important source of pollution at both regional and global scales, with significant impacts on air quality, climate and human health. In China, it is also a major source of fine particulate matter. A better understanding of emissions, source contributions, transport, and transformation of biomass burning is essential for assessing ...

Molecular Markers of Biomass Burning in Arctic Aerosols
Environmental Science & Technology, 2013Biomass burning is one of the most important sources of organic matter in the atmosphere as it affects the absorption and scattering of solar radiation, creates cloud condensation nuclei and possibly influences ice and snow albedo. Here we created and validated an analytical method using HPLC/(-)-ESI-MS/MS to determine phenolic compounds (PCLCs ...
