Peer Review #1 of "Physical, mechanical and energy characterization of wood pellets obtained from three common tropical species (v0.1)"
Abstract:Background. The need for energy sources with low greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable production encourage the search for alternative biomass sources. However, the use of biomass fuels faces the problem of storage, transport and lower energy densities. Low-density values can negatively affect energy density, leading to an increase in transportation and storage costs. Use of pellets as alternative biomass source is a way to reduce the volume of biomass by densification, which improves their energy quality. … Show more
