Biomass as an energy source contributes to a decrease in the dependence on imported
fossil fuels, while at the same time, adding value to the countries where biomass fuel …

The aim of the current paper is to discuss the sustainability aspect of biorefinery systems
with focus on biomass supply chains, processing of biomass feedstocks in biorefinery …

Giant reed (Arundo donax) and Miscanthus spp. were tested to evaluate their tolerance and
phytoremediation capacity in soils contaminated with heavy metals. Giant reed was tested …

Energy and fuel demands, which are currently met primarily using fossil fuels, are expected
to increase substantially in the coming decades. Burning fossil fuels results in the increase …

The increasing demand for biomass for the production of bioenergy is generating land-use
conflicts. These conflicts might be solved through spatial segregation of food/feed and …

Miscanthus is characterized by high biomass production potential and low input
requirements and therefore considered a leading candidate for second-generation energy …

There are many locations where soil quality improvements would be beneficial because of
contamination, erosion, flooding, or past human activities. Miscanthus, a C-4 grass related to …

Biofuel production from energy crops is land‐use intensive. Land‐use change (LUC)
associated with bioenergy crop** impacts on the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance, both …

The recent policies enacted by the EU foresee an increased interest in the cultivation of
energy crops. Hence systematized information on new energy crops and crop** strategies …

The objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of oil palm biomass (OPB) in terms of
physicochemical properties for producing biofuels via pyrolysis processes. The OPB …
