Appendices. 330 $aSolid biofuels, in different trading forms, constitute an integral component of the energy mix of almost all developed and developing countries. Either in the form of pellets, briquettes, chips, firewood, or even as raw feedstock, solid biofuels are used mainly in the heating and power sector. Numerous sustainability concerns, focusing on the environmental, economic and technical aspects of solid biofuels exploitation, led to considerable advances in the recent years in this field. These developments mainly focus on the pre-treatment processes of the solid biomass to biofuels chain, the minimum requirements of the produced solid biofuels, as well as the efficiency and the environmental performance of their thermochemical conversion routes. This work aspires to provide the state of the art in the field of the exploitation of solid biofuels to present the main advances as well as the major challenges of this scientific fields. The topics presented in this book were examined and dealt with by the authors in the past few years, in numerous research projects and scientific publications. This book compiles all the assembled experience of the past few years, and aims to provide an overview of the solid biofuels exploitation field. Presents the latest standards and considerations on solid biofuels technical requirements; Contains numerous examples on applications in the field of solid biofuels thermochemical conversion, as well as the state of the art in this field; Includes sustainability aspects, including life cycle assessment aspects and financial concerns for the exploitation of solid biofuels. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3529 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aBiochemical engineering 606 $aEnergy systems 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aBiochemical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12029 606 $aEnergy Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aBiochemical engineering. 615 0$aEnergy systems. 615 14$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aBiochemical Engineering. 615 24$aEnergy Systems. 676 $a662.88 700 $aChristoforou$b Elias$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0996189 702 $aFokaides$b Paris A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337592303321 996 $aAdvances in Solid Biofuels$92283026 997 $aUNINA
