“…The results obtained from the elemental analysis and the calorific value values shown in Table 2 are typical for these types of samples and are related to those reported in the literature. The calorific value reported by other researchers for rice husk is between 16.35 and 16.44 MJ/kg, for coconut husk it is between 18.23 and 20.01 MJ/kg, and for corn residues it is between 17.96 and 18.41 MJ/kg (Rambo et al 2015;Marafon et al 2019).…”

Kinetic analysis for the combustion of three agro-industrial biomass residues (coconut husk, corn husk, and rice husk) was carried out in order to provide information for the generation of energy from them. The analysis was performed using the results of the data obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at three heating rates (10, 20, and 30 K/min). The biomass residues were characterized in terms of proximate analysis, elemental analysis, calorific value, lignin content, α-cellulose content, hemicellulose content, and holocellulose content. The biomass fuels were thermally degraded in an oxidative atmosphere. The results showed that the biomass thermal degradation process is comprised of the combustion of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The kinetic parameters of the distributed activation energy model indicated that the activation energy distribution for the pseudocomponents follows lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in descending order. The activation energy values for each set of reactions are similar between the heating rates, which suggests that it is independent of the heating rate between 10 K/min and 30 K/min. For all the biomass samples, the increased heating rate resulted in the overlap of the hemicellulose and cellulose degradation events.

“…Compared to the previous estimate in 2017, the country’s carbon stock has increased by 42.6 Mt [ 35 ]. It also gives around 40 t of biomass ha −1 , which projected its potentiality towards the generation of bioenergy and environmental management [ 30 , 38 ].…”

“…That would be enough to satisfy the northeastern region’s required mixing needs for gasoline [ 40 ]. Woody bamboos grow quickly and can generate up to 50 Mt of biomass acre −1 y −1 , that could convert into a range of energy products such as charcoal, biogas, and biofuels [ 38 , 41 ]. Feedstock for biofuel development is a major struggle for any nation, as biofuel crops conflict with grain, fodder, and fiber for scarce land resources [ 42 ].…”

Increasing population, industrialization, and economic growth cause several adverse impacts on the existing environment and living being. Therefore, rising pollutants load and their mitigation strategies, as well as achieving energy requirements while reducing reliance on fossil fuels are the key areas, which needs significant consideration for sustainable environment. Since India has considerable biomass resources, bioenergy is a significant part of the country’s energy policy. However, the selection of feedstock is a crucial step in bioenergy production that could produce raw material without compromising food reserve along with the sustainable environment. Higher growth capacity of bamboo species makes them a suitable lignocellulosic substrate for the production of high-value greener products such as fuels, chemicals, and biomaterials as well as an appropriate candidate for eco-restoration of degraded land. In that context, the current review discusses the multidimensional applications of bamboo species in India. The bioenergy potency of bamboo and probability of aligning its production, cultivation, and operation with economic and social development agendas are also addressed, making it an exceptional crop in India. Additionally, its fast growth, perennial root systems, and capability to restore degraded land make it an essential part of ecological restoration. Furthermore, this review explores additional benefits of bamboo plantation on the environment, economy, and society along with future research prospects.

“…The solid fuels contain some moisture as free water in large pores and bound water inside of cell wall. Solid wood fuel suppliers require average moisture content below 20% for firewood (Marafon et al 2019, Yan et al 2018 and 10-12% for other wood fuel products like pellets, briquettes, chips, sawdust, etc. The dependency of the calorific power on the sample moisture content was evaluated for the low and high calorific value obtained for Acajou and Guaiac, respectively ( Figure 6).…”

The paper aims to analyze and classified some exotic wood species from tropical Africa, on regard to calorific features, in order to view the ability of their biomass to be a solid, natural and renewable fuel. The calorific values of wood wastes of eight tropical species were determined using an oxygen bomb calorimeter. The tested specimens were conditioned at a moisture content of 10%, 20%, and 50%. The influence of moisture content on calorific value and density, heat release rate and calorific efficiency were also analyzed. The biggest high calorific value and low calorific value were obtained by Guaiac and Rose species (21200-20700 kJ/kg). Acajou had the lowest values of high calorific value and low calorific value (18929 and 18456 kJ/kg, respectively). For higher wood density (Guaiac) the higher calorific density was obtained. The moisture content of specimens had negatively influenced the calorific efficiency and rate of energy release. The ash content was below 4% with highest values for Guaiac (3,6%) and the lowest for Acajou (0,5%). The results showed that the analyzed tropical wood species had a forest calorific capacity with 23-47% higher than of European beech, thus can be considered a good potential as renewable energy resources.
