Energy Production from Biomass Valorization

“…The generation of residual biomass materials, such as agricultural and forest residues, by-products from food-and wood-processing industries, and domestic and municipal wastes, is continuously increasing as a consequence of the increase in the demand for food, materials, and services driven by human population growth [11]. In this context, efficient strategies should be developed for the valorization of large amounts of generated waste [12,13]. Using these waste streams as raw materials to produce energy is a rational valorization strategy.…”
