Asymmetric linkage between biomass energy consumption and ecological footprints in top ten biomass-consuming nations

Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja, 2022
In the current sustainable growth framework, the role of renewable energy cannot be overemphasized. Furthermore, several sustainable development targets necessitate the optimal utilization of biomass energy. Their benefits, trade-off dynamics, and implementation vary according to geography, necessitating an in-depth examination to manage their ...

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

Ecological Insights into the Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Microbial Consortia [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2017
Plant biomass (PB) is an important resource for biofuel production. However, the frequent lack of efficiency of PB saccharification is still an industrial bottleneck. The use of enzyme cocktails produced from PB-degrading microbial consortia (PB-dmc) is a promising approach to optimize this process.

Ecological Aspects in Control of Small-scale Biomass Fired Boilers

International Journal of Energy, 2021
Control of combustion in small-scale boilers has been standing outside interest for a long time. More attention has been paid to design of the boilers than to economic and ecological aspects of their operation. To the question under which operating conditions of the boiler a controller carries out its activities has been paid a limited attention.

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron
