Synopsis

Biomass utilisation represents an increasingly important source of low or zero carbon power generation. Developments in conventional power plant fuel-flexibility allow for both direct biomass combustion and co-firing with fossil-fuels, whilst the integration of advanced technologies facilitate conversion of a wide range of biomass feedstocks into more readily combustible fuel. Biomass combustion science, technology and engineering reviews the science and technology of biomass combustion, conversion and utilisation. Part one provides an introduction to biomass, supply chains and feedstocks, before part two goes on to explore biomass combustion and co-firing. Finally, large-scale biomass combustion and biorefineries are the focus of part three.

Key Features: reviews the science and technology of biomass combustion, conversion and utilisation; provides an introduction to biomass supply chains and feedstocks and outlines the principles of biomass combustion for power generation; describes the categorisation and preparation of biomass feedstocks for combustion and gasification.

Contents: Part 1 Introduction, supply chains and feedstock: Biomass combustion for power generation: An introduction; Biomass supply chains; Biomass feedstocks: Categorisation and preparation for combustion and gasification. Part 2 Biomass combustion and co-firing: Direct combustion of biomass; Biomass co-firing; Biomass gasification; Fast pyrolysis of biomass for the production of liquids; Intermediate pyrolysis of biomass. Part 3 Large-scale biomass combustion and biorefineries: Large-scale biomass combustion plants: An overview; Industrial-scale biomass combustion plants: Engineering issues and operation; Biorefineries: Increased value from biomass conversion.
