This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the properties of fuels derived from biomass, both gaseous and liquid, against the fuel requirements of gas turbine systems for generating electrical power. The report attempts to be quantitative rather than merely qualitative to establish the significant variations in their properties of biomass fuels from those of conventional fuels. Three general categories are covered:performance, durability, and storage and handling.

Download or read book Review of the Research Strategy for Biomass Derived Transportation Fuels written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-11-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Fuels Development (OFD), a component of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Transportation Technologies, manages the federal government's effort to make biomass-based ethanol (bioethanol) and biodiesel a practical and affordable alternative to gasoline. Through the National Biomass Ethanol Program, the OFD is overseeing key research and development (R&D) and industry-government partnerships for the establishment of a cellulosic biomass ethanol industry. Cellulosic biomass resources being investigated include agronomic and forest crop residues, woody crops, perennial grasses, and municipal wastes. Starch-based sources, such as cereal grains (e.g., corn grain), are not included in this program. The objective of the program is to promote the commercialization of enzyme-based technologies to produce cost-competitive bioethanol for use as transportation fuel. The OFD requested that the National Research Council estimate the contribution and evaluate the role of biofuels (biomass-derived ethanol and biodiesel) as transportation fuels in the domestic and international economies, evaluate OFD's biofuels strategy, and recommend changes in this strategy and the R&D goals and portfolio of the OFD in the near-term to midterm time frame (about 20 years). During this period, a number of complex, interacting factors, including advances in the technologies used to produce biofuels at a competitive cost, the elimination of tax incentives, advances in vehicle and engine technologies, growing concerns about solid waste disposal and air pollution, and global measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, will affect the position of biofuels in transportation fuel markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides state-of-the-art information and evaluation of alternative biomass systems for generation of electricity. The biomass systems consist of silvicultural or agricultural resources, processing and conversion technology to make biomass -derived fuels, and electricity -generating technology. The systems are delineated in energy network charts and are evaluated in matrices that display biomass -system alternatives and multiple technical, economic, and environmental -impact criteria. Biomass systems present opportunities for electric utilities to obtain a portion of their future fuel supplies from renewable resources. The potential availability of forestry biomass dwarfs other biomass resources in the United States. A few utilities already have small-scale (10-30 Mlle) wood combustion units and use biomass because it costs less than alternative fuels in their specific geographical areas. Biomass may be a particularly attractive option for smaller utilities, because the locally available resource may more nearly match the anticipated sizes of equipment needed for generation additions than would be true for large utilities that would use coal in unit trainloads. Opportunities to cooperate with the forest products industry in cogeneration ventures could be highly advantageous because of the complementary resources, skills, and equipment of the organizations. Although the emphasis in raw lignocellulosic biomass utilization probably will bein direct combustion, woody or agricultural residues might be gasified to yield low -Btu gas or medium -Btu gas for use in boilers designed for gas or oil. Existing combustion equipment designed for oil or gas might use fuels derived from a wider variety of biomass resources. Triglycerides are liquid fuels that could be made from oilseeds. They could be used in gas turbines, diesels, or oil -design boilers. Methanol derived from wood (or coal) could be used for gas turbines. Availability and price will be major constraints on liquid and gaseous biomass fuels. Terpene crops and aquatic crops could have good prospects in the 21st century because they use territory that is not in great demand; however, they are at a nearly stage of research now.

This book was released on 1996-11-30 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many developments in the science and technology of thermo chemical biomass conversion since the previous conference on Advances in Thermochemical Biomass Conversion in Interlaken, Switzerland, in 1992. This fourth conference again covers all aspects of thermal biomass conversion systems from fundamental research through applied research and development to demon stration and commercial applications to reflect the progress made in the last four years. All aspects of bioenergy systems are covered from pretreatment through to end-user applications with increased consideration paid to the environmental benefits and problems of implementing bio-energy systems. There was an excellent response with over 200 papers offered and over 180 delegates from 29 countries attending the conference. The programme was divided into five main areas covering pyrolysis, pretreatment, gasification, combustion and system studies and this division is reflected in the structure of these conference proceedings. Each main section was preceded by a state-of-the-art review to provide a focus for the ensuing presentations and an authoritative reference. All the papers included have been subject to a full peer review process. As with any international conference, an important aim was to exchange ideas and discuss problems with fellow researchers, as well as to hear about the latest research and development and applications. A workshop programme was included to encourage this interaction in areas of interest selected by participants. The resul tant workshop reports provide a summary of topical problems and opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially, the use of biomass for energy meets only 10-13% of the total global energy demand of 140 000 TWh per year. Still, thirty years ago the official figure was zero, as only traded biomass was included. While the actual production of biomass is in the range of 270 000 TWh per year, most of this is not used for energy purposes, and mostly it
