The viability of co-firing biomass waste to mitigate coal plant emissions in Indonesia

Communications Earth & Environment
Given Indonesia’s abundant biomass resources, co-firing biomass presents an opportunity to reduce coal plant carbon emissions. However, the emissions profile of this strategy depends upon biomass sourcing, which, if derived from non-waste biomass ...

Engineering study of coal co-firing based on biomass mixture and slagging-fouling control in the steam power plant

South African Journal of Chemical Engineering
Coal combustion intensifies carbon emissions, contributing to global warming. This study explores co-firing coal with biomass sources—rice husks, sawdust, and cocopeat—and examines the role of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in reducing slagging.

Release of alkali metals during biomass thermal conversion [PDF]

, 2016
Biomass has great potential to become an economic source of renewable energy; however, its high chlorine and alkali metal content may cause series problems (e.g. slagging and corrosion) thus limiting its utilization.

Thermal Characterisation of Millet to Develop Sustainable Intumescent Passive Fire Protection Systems

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intumescent paints, coatings, or sealants are a popular form of passive protection in the fire industry. However, the impact of their toxicity and constituent synthetic chemical ingredients is an important consideration for sustainability. This research experimentally studied an agricultural grain, known as millet, quantifying its unusual ...

Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Availability of Biomass Residues for Co-Firing in Peninsular Malaysia: Implications for Cost and GHG Emissions in the Electricity Sector

Energies, 2014
Fossil fuels comprise 93% of Malaysia’s electricity generation and account for 36% of the country’s 2010 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The government has targeted the installation of 330 MW of biomass electricity generation capacity by 2015 to avoid 1.
