The past decades have seen increasing interest in develo** pyrolysis pathways to
produce biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Pyrolysis is a key …

Currently around 10% of all energy generated worldwide comes from biomass. Most of this
10% is biofuel energy from the fermentation of corn and sugarcane. Fermentation of corn …

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel and is widely used as an energy source for combustion
and gasification. Both experimental methods and computational tools are required for the …

One of the main drawbacks of using biomass as pyrolysis feedstock consists of the huge
variability of the different biomass resources which undermines the viability of downstream …

This paper discusses the research activities done at Politecnico di Milano in the field of the
detailed kinetic modeling of pyrolysis and combustion of biomass and bio-oil formation …

Four principal intra-particle phenomena occur in a highly concerted manner during the
pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials: heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and …

This paper reviews the recent advances in multi-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
simulations of biomass pyrolysis in fluidized bed reactors. The interconnection among …

Biomass, as a renewable and sustainable energy resource, can be converted into
environmentally friendly and practically valuable biofuels and chemical materials via …

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is available worldwide, is carbon neutral, and can
be converted to various types of products depending on the market and on the specific …

Biomass gasification is an important process for sustainable fuel production. However, its
low biomass–to–fuel energy conversion and carbon utilization efficiencies have hindered its …
