In parallel, there is an increasing amount of global solid waste production. A fundamental shift toward greater reliance on biomass wastes in the world's energy system is plausible because of ongoing major technological advances that hold the promise of making the conversion of biomass into high-quality energy carriers, like electricity and gaseous or liquid fuels, economically competitive with fossil fuels. Therefore, waste-to-energy systems have become a paramount topic for both industry and researchers due to interest in energy production from waste and improved chemical and thermal efficiencies with more cost-effective designs. This biomass shift is also important for industries to become more efficient by using their own wastes to produce their own energy in the light of the circular economy concept. This book on "Biomass Wastes for Energy Production" brings novel advances on waste-to-energy technologies, life cycle assessment, and computational models, and contributes to promoting rethinking of the world's energy supply systems. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aactivated carbon adsorption 610 $aalternative fuel 610 $aanaerobic digestion 610 $aanaerobic horizontal flow reactor 610 $aautothermal gasification 610 $abio-based economy 610 $abiocoal 610 $abiogas 610 $abiomass 610 $abiomass applications 610 $abiomass gasification 610 $abiomass residues 610 $abiomass valorization 610 $abiomass value pyramid 610 $abiomass waste 610 $abiomass-to-energy 610 $abiorenewable energy 610 $abiowaste 610 $aboiler efficiency 610 $acarbon boundary point 610 $acharacteristics 610 $achemical equilibrium 610 $acircular economy 610 $aco-firing 610 $aco-occurrence analysis 610 $acompeting uses 610 $acost analysis 610 $adairy wastewater 610 $adecision parameters 610 $ademonstration-scale plant 610 $adifferential scanning calorimetry 610 $adowndraft reactor 610 $aelectricity production 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy recovery 610 $aforestry 610 $aGHG emissions 610 $ainternal combustion engines-generator 610 $aLCA 610 $alife cycle assessment 610 $amanure 610 $amicrowave radiation 610 $aMonte Carlo method 610 $aorganic waste 610 $apeach pruning residues 610 $aresult parameters 610 $asmall-scale systems 610 $asteam boilers 610 $astructural parameters 610 $asyngas 610 $atechno-economic analysis 610 $athermal treatment 610 $athermal valorization 610 $athermodynamics 610 $athermogravimetric analysis 610 $atorrefaction 610 $atorrefied material properties 610 $aultrasound 610 $awaste management 610 $awastewater management 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMonteiro$b Eliseu$4edt$01302973 702 $aMonteiro$b Eliseu$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557306703321 996 $aBiomass Wastes for Energy Production$93026791 997 $aUNINA
