Can Biomass Pellets Reduce Emissions in Coal Plants?

Image
Biomass pellets are biomass fuels derived from solid waste, agricultural residue, and forestry residue. Some of the commonly used raw materials in the production of biomass pellets include sawmill residue, tree barks, branches, leaves, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell, cotton stalk, etc. Biomass pellets are used as biofuels for commercial and residential heating, power generation, cooking, and other applications. Biomass pellets are clean burning and renewable sources of fuel, which generally emit less particulate emissions. Over 40% of electricity worldwide is generated by coal-fired power plants. Coal has the largest carbon dioxide emissions per unit energy of all fossil fuels, and coal-fired power plants are a major source of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. Coal-fired power plants generally have a life of 20 to 50 years and represent a huge global capital investment. It is not economically feasible to retire these coal-fired power plants and replace them with greener...

Biochar: A High Performance Organic Fertilizer Created From Biomass

Image
Biochar, a charcoal-like, carbon-based material with roots in ancient civilizations, has scientists excited over the potential it holds for restoring depleted soils, improving food security, and aiding in climate change efforts when used as a soil amendment. Soil is the most important source and an abode for many nutrients and microflora. Due to rapid depletion of agricultural areas and soil quality by means of ever-increasing population and an excessive addition of chemical fertilizers, a rehabilitated attention is a need of the hour to maintain sustainable approaches in agricultural crop production. Biochar is the solid, carbon-rich material obtained by pyrolysis using different biomasses. It has been widely documented in previous studies that, the crop growth and yield can be increased by using biochar.

The Energy Boom You Haven't Heard About: Biomass Pellets

Image
Biomass pellets are biomass fuels derived from solid waste, agricultural residue, and forestry residue. Some of the commonly used raw materials in the production of biomass pellets include sawmill residue, tree barks, branches, leaves, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell, cotton stalk, etc. Biomass pellets are used as biofuels for commercial and residential heating, power generation, cooking, and other applications. Biomass pellets are clean burning and renewable sources of fuel, which generally emit less particulate emissions. The depletion of fossil fuels and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in a strong growth of biomass utilization for heat and power production. Attempts to overcome the poor handling properties of biomass, i.e. its low bulk density and inhomogeneous structure, have resulted in an increasing interest in biomass densification technologies, such as pelletization and briquetting. The global pellet market has developed quickly, and strong ...

EFFECTIVENESS AND RELIABILITY OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Image
Performance-based design analyses often involve a comparison of the contributions of a variety of fire protection systems to achieve specified design objectives. Fire protection systems can be divided into two categories: passive and active systems. Passive systems include fire-rated barriers and protection of openings in fire-rated barriers, while active systems include systems such as fire detectors and sprinklers. An analysis of the contribution of a particular fire protection system to the achievement of specified objectives should include an assessment of the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed fire protection systems. For the purposes of this article, "reliability” is defined as the probability that a product or system will operate under designated operating conditions for a designated period of time or number of cycles. "Effectiveness” refers to the ability of a system to achieve desired objectives. Download PDF Sample Copy of this Study Here!!! The fire prot...

Renewable Fuels - The Future of Energy?

Image
Renewable fuels are fuels that are produced from renewable resources. Renewable fuels include fuels that are synthesized from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. Renewable fuels have gained popularity due to their low contributions to the carbon cycle, sustainability, and in some cases, lower amounts of greenhouse gases. Renewable fuels are bound to replace fossil fuels, gradually. Renewable fuels are bound to gradually replace fossil fuels. Development of biorefineries will mark the historic transition into a sustainable society in which biological feedstocks, processes and products constitute the main pillars of the economy.  Download PDF Copy of this Study Here!!! The global renewable fuels market is growing at a significant pace owing to the technological advancements coupled with the government regulations for the application of renewable fuels in various countries all over the globe. However, the availability of substitutes is projected to hinder the growth of t...
