II . 4 . 4 Characterization of Coal and Biomass Conversion Behaviors in Advanced Energy Systems

The goal of this project is to develop models that predict accurately coal and biomass gasification and combustion behaviors in the type environments likely to be established in advanced energy systems. This requires acquiring the information needed to understand and characterize the fundamental chemical and physical processes that govern coal and biomass conversion at high temperatures and pre...

Social sustainability assessment of conversion technologies: Municipal solid waste into bioenergy using Best Worst Method

The majority of sustainability assessments of the bio based industries are primarily focused on the environmental and economic aspects, while social impacts are rarely considered. While overlooking social dimension can have a serious harmful impact across supply chains. To address this issue, this study proposes a modified systemic approach for a social sustainability impact assessment of the te...

Energy production from biomass (Part 2): Conversion technologies.

The use of biomass to provide energy has been fundamental to the development of civilisation. In recent times pressures on the global environment have led to calls for an increased use of renewable energy sources, in lieu of fossil fuels. Biomass is one potential source of renewable energy and the conversion of plant material into a suitable form of energy, usually electricity or as a fuel for ...
