The waste-to-energy (WTE) valorization pathway of Caryocar brasiliense (pequi) seeds was
investigated via pyrolysis, gasification, and transesterification to understand its potential as …

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) presents a promising avenue for waste-to-energy
conversion, owing to its cost-effectiveness, low emissions, and adaptability. This study …

This study aims to simulate the steam-enhanced co-gasification of hybrid blends (HB)
composed of municipal solid waste (MSW) and urban forest waste (UFW), with torrefaction …

As Brazil's construction industry plays a pivotal role in its economy, there is growing interest
in sustainable alternatives, particularly waste-to-energy solutions. Wood waste from the …

This paper evaluated steam and CO 2-enhanced gasification of spent coffee ground (SCG)
biomass, including energy and exergy aspects focusing on hydrogen production. The waste …

The growing search for new and optimizing biofuels has made the use of lignocellulosic
waste an important alternative for municipal solid waste disposal. The environmental …

The increasing production of municipal solid waste (MSW) and its improper disposal affect
environmental issues. As a way of dealing with landfill overload and still encompassing the …

To assess the potassium catalytic influence on the kinetic behavior of non-oxidative biomass
torrefaction, two woody biomass samples (Amapaí and Eucalyptus), as well as Miscanthus …
