Wood chips are the primary sources of raw materials for numerous industries, including
pelleting mills, biorefineries, pulp-and-paper industries, and biomass-based power …

The exhaustion of fossil fuel resources has instigated a necessity to find new alternatives
like biofuels, for heat and power generation. Biofuels are usually generated from the thermal …

In order to investigate the influence of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) on the properties of
the hydrochars, sawdust with a particle size below 0.45 mm was treated in an autoclave at …

In this work four types of wood pellets were analyzed, with the aim of assessing their
characteristics and behaviour during combustion in a domestic pellet stove. With this …

Abstract Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are essential tools in many image
recognition tasks. In this article we propose using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network for …

In this study, the quality of wood fuel pellets, commercially available in the Greek market,
was evaluated using the ISO 17225 Standard Requirement Thresholds as a benchmark …

The oceanic biological pump is responsible for the important transfer of CO2-C as POC
“Particulate Organic Carbon” to the deep sea. It plays a decisive role in the Earth's carbon …

Biomass is one of the most important sources of renewable energy. One of the most widely
used biomass biofuels is wood pellets. It is an economical, homogeneous and easy-to-use …

In this study, the torrefaction process was optimized to improve the energy yield (Y energy)
in wheat straw pellet production. Wheat is the main agricultural product of Chile and …

In order to meet the growing demand for raw material of solid biofuels, it is imperative to find
alternative materials of low cost, underutilized so far. In this study, wood and bark material of …
