An Overview on the Conversion of Forest Biomass into Bioenergy

Biomass plays a crucial role in mitigating the concerns associated with increasing fossil fuel combustion. Among various types of biomass, forest biomass has attracted considerable attention given its abundance and variations. In this work, an overview is presented on different pathways available to convert into bioenergy. Direct use could reduce carbon dioxide emissions conventional energy production systems. However, there are certain drawbacks direct such as low conversion rate soot residues. Also, lack continuous access severe concern long-term sustainability electricity generation by biomass. To solve problem, co-combustion coal, well pelletizing recommended. The coal monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfide process. Forest can also be converted liquid gaseous biofuels through biochemical thermochemical processes, which reviewed discussed herein. Despite favorable features processes bioenergy, their should more extensively scrutinized future studies using advanced assessment tools life cycle assessment, exergy, etc.
