Technologies for converting biomass to useful energy combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, torrefaction and fermentation

"An important goal of the extended use of biomass is replacing fossil fuels. Potentially, all global energy needs can be covered with biomass if the utilization is efficient enough. This book provides the state of the art in the field of efficient conversion of biomass, covering most technical...
