One of the great problems encountered in use of agricultural waste is connected with the handling, transport and storage, and when it comes to the energy issue we have the low density of these materials present, so the energy densification, in this case we will adopt the briquetting process, has been adopted as a way to improve all these variables and also to increase the energy density o…
In order to facilitate the competitive integration of biomass into the domestic market, it is imperative to conduct studies that enhance its efficiency and encourage more suitable management practices, capitalizing on the utilization of waste materials that are frequently discarded. The limited utilization of agricultural waste in energy generation is attributed to inherent characteristic…
The use of biomass as an alternative fuel has been growing in recent years. This is due to the constant search for energy sources that replace fossil fuels and that diminish the impact on the environment. Brazil has natural and geographical conditions that are totally favorable to the production of different biomasses. The country has forests for reforestation in which the wood is intende…
Searching to insert biomass into the national competitive market, some studies are necessary to have greater efficiency in its use and better management, taking advantage of waste that is usually discarded. The low use of agricultural waste for energy generation is associated to their characteristics that complicate their use, such as: low density, low calorific value and high moisture co…
