Biomass accounts for the largest renewable energy in the world, whereas its inherent
drawbacks, such as low energy and mass density, hydrophilicity, poor grindability and …

The growing search for alternative energy sources is not only due to the present shortage of
non-renewable energy sources, but also due to their negative environmental impacts …

Torrefaction of biomass is a promising pre-treatment process capable of substantially
improving the properties of raw biomass for its use as a solid biofuel, among many other …

There is a growing interest in the utilisation of biomass for a range of applications. Coupled
with this is the appeal of improving the circular economy and as such, there is a focus on …

Pyrolysis converts lignocellulosic biomass into bio-oil, which result in at least four times with
more energy density than raw biomass. Bio-oil could be exploited in heating, power …

Considering the growing economies in the world and the increasing demand for energy, a
transition toward sustainable energy resources is pivotal to achieve CO 2 mitigation and net …
