Difference of Soda Cooking Characteristics between Wood Pellet and the Raw Wood: Whole Wood Pellet as a Raw Material for Biorefinery (2)

Carbon monoxide poisoning in wood pellet storerooms.

Background Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of mortality from unintentional poisoning in Slovenia. It has been shown that carbon monoxide levels can rise in wood pellet storerooms because of chemical degradation of pellets, even at room temperature. We present a case of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning with first responder carbon monoxide exposure. Aims To highlight the dangers rescuers f...

Co-combustion of Biosolids with Wood Pellets in a Wood Pellet Stove

Co-combustion of biosolids with coal or other biomass fuel can play a significant role in combustion facilities for energy production and waste management policy context. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the use of biosolids for co-combustion with wood pellets in a wood pellet stove. Fuel property, gas emissions and stove efficiency are compared. In regard...

Data demonstrating the Finnish wood pellet industry and future perspectives

This article contains data related to the research article entitled "A survey analysis of the wood pellet industry in Finland: Future perspectives" (S. Proskurina, E. Alakangas, J. Heinimö, M. Mikkilä, E. Vakkilainen, 2016) [1]. The dataset include information about the importance of wood pellets on the global bioenergy development and role of wood pellets on the Finnish bioenergy development. ...

Comparison of Different Wood Species as Raw Materials for Bioenergy

Background and Purpose: Most projections of the global energy use predict that biomass will be an important component of primary energy sources in the coming decades. Short rotation plantations have the potential to become an important source of renewable energy in Europe because of the high biomass yields, a good combustion quality as solid fuel, ecological advantages and comparatively low bio...
