“…The CH 4 emission values estimated from the application of the emission factors are much lower than those observed for CO, which is in accord with the observation in pilot-scale biomass combustion experiments . Additionally, as occurs with other light hydrocarbons, CH 4 emissions have a straight correlation to CO Tsupari et al, 2007).…”

“…Compared with coal, FBR have a higher volatile content and therefore need more residence time in the freeboard to completely burn the volatiles. On the other hand, significant methane formation is common in small-scale combustion, but occurs rarely in well operating large furnaces (Tsupari et al, 2007). NO X are estimated as those with the second highest emission.…”

During the past decades, pressures on global environment and energy security have led to an increasing demand on renewable energy sources and diversification of the world's energy supply. The Portuguese energy strategy considers the use of Forest Biomass Residues (FBR) to energy as being essential to accomplish the goals established in the National Energy Strategy for 2020. However, despite the advantages pointing to FBR to the energy supply chain, few studies have evaluated the potential impacts on air quality. In this context, a case study was selected to estimate the atmospheric emissions of the FBR to the energy supply chain in Portugal. Results revealed that production, harvesting, and energy conversion processes are the main culprits for the biomass energy supply chain emissions (with a contribution higher than 90%), while the transport processes have a minor importance for all the pollutants. Compared with the coal-fired plants, the FBR combustion produces lower greenhouses emissions, on a mass basis of fuel consumed; the same is true for NO X and SO 2 emissions.

It is also important to take into account heavy metal contents of PPMS when using it in energy recovery practices (CANMET, 2005;Tsupari et al, 2007;Gavrilescu, 2008). Emissions and ashes from the PPMS combustion in biomass boilers are treated by modern technologies and respect the regulatory standards in Canada (CANMET, 2005).…”

Pulp and paper mill sludge (PPMS) is an organic residual generated from the wastewater treatments. PPMS management involves economic, environmental and social costs that will likely increase in the future as landfilling tends to be reduced or banned in certain jurisdictions. The reduction or the banning of landfilling may be considered as a climate change mitigation measure since organic waste disposal is normally associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This critical review aims to (1) describe the variety of the current and emerging PPMS management practices that are alternatives to landfilling and (2) underline the crucial need for GHG emission assessments. The management practices of the three main PPMS types (primary, secondary and de-inking) comprised in this review are land application (agriculture, silviculture, land reclamation and composting), energy recovery (combustion, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, bioethanol, hydrogen production and direct liquefaction) and integration in materials (biocomposite, cement, asphalt and adsorbent-absorbent). Future research should focus to increase the comprehension of known GHG determinants from the PPMS management practices and reveal unknown factors. Life cycle analyses, based on direct GHG emission measurements, are needed to determine GHG emissions from current and emerging practices and plan a responsible future reduction or banning of landfilling. Such analyses will contribute to assist decision makers in implementing the best PPMS management practices with the least impact on climate change.
