Appendices.Solid biofuels, in different trading forms, constitute an integral component of the energy mix of almost all developed and developing countries. Either in the form of pellets, briquettes, chips, firewood, or even as raw feedstock, solid biofuels are used mainly in the heating and power sector. Numerous sustainability concerns, focusing on the environmental, economic and technical aspects of solid biofuels exploitation, led to considerable advances in the recent years in this field. These developments mainly focus on the pre-treatment processes of the solid biomass to biofuels chain, the minimum requirements of the produced solid biofuels, as well as the efficiency and the environmental performance of their thermochemical conversion routes. This work aspires to provide the state of the art in the field of the exploitation of solid biofuels to present the main advances as well as the major challenges of this scientific fields. The topics presented in this book were examined and dealt with by the authors in the past few years, in numerous research projects and scientific publications. This book compiles all the assembled experience of the past few years, and aims to provide an overview of the solid biofuels exploitation field. Presents the latest standards and considerations on solid biofuels technical requirements; Contains numerous examples on applications in the field of solid biofuels thermochemical conversion, as well as the state of the art in this field; Includes sustainability aspects, including life cycle assessment aspects and financial concerns for the exploitation of solid biofuels.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3529Renewable energy resourcesBiochemical engineeringEnergy systemsRenewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Biochemical Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12029Energy Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000Renewable energy resources.Biochemical engineering.Energy systems.Renewable and Green Energy.Biochemical Engineering.Energy Systems.662.88Christoforou Eliasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut996189Fokaides Paris Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337592303321Advances in Solid Biofuels2283026UNINA
