“…55 Most of the studies are oriented toward using wood waste as biomass, 56 to improve the understanding of conversion processes and decomposition characteristics, 57 or to investigate the quality of biomass from old wood waste deposits. 58 The moisture of the wood waste is one of the main characteristics that influence the energy potential and in Reference 59 is shown that before burning forest biomass in boilers of thermal power plants, it is most advantageous to carry out a drying process. The potential of wood waste as a combustion material is highlighted in Reference 60, but they underline that in the process of burning the waste the high nitrogen content leads to increase NOx production, so more severe gas cleaning is needed.…”

Summary The purpose of this paper is to investigate the perspective of using wood waste, especially the one that resulted from the construction and demolition activities, to produce sustainable bioenergy. The context of this research is characterized by a more accelerated need for development, a growing need for energy to fuel all human activities, and a greater awareness of the pressure on the environment and the negative effects produced. One of the major challenges for environmental protection is the issue of mitigating CO2 emissions, and among the biggest contributors to the CO2 emissions is the construction industry. Given the current rhythm of society development, a decrease in construction activities is not possible so a solution can be better management of the waste produced in various stages. If the need for better waste management is joined with the need for more sustainable energy, then using waste to produce bioenergy seems like a good solution. This study focuses mainly on wood waste and to respond to the research purpose it uses bibliometric literature search, scientometric analysis, and in‐depth discussions. The data were obtained by interrogating the ISI Web of Science database using the keywords “bioenergy”, “wood waste” and “construction and demolition” as search criteria. The extraction of data was done using the PRISMA method and processed with VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software. The processing of the data was done so to obtain information related to the importance of the research topic given by the number of publications, the most studied topics revealed by a keywords co‐occurrence analysis and a trend topic plot, as well as the world scientific productions on the studied topics. The main results indicate a significant increase, in the last years, of the interest in the studied topics, all over the world. Wood waste is considered as a direct combustion fuel or as a raw material for components of fuels used to produce energy, as well as components for new building materials. Given the limitations of other renewable energy sources, wood biomass is a subject that must be considered more in the future. The use of wood waste as biomass for the production of bioenergy can be a very good solution that will bring the advantage of both ensuring a renewable source of energy and at the same time decreasing the impact of the building industry on the environment.

“…We found that those results were in line with decreasing the amount of moisture content on wood samples when converted into wood chips (51.63% to 9.58%) (Table 2). It has also been reported by Deboni et al (2020) that lower moisture content is considered one of the factors that significantly influence the increased calorific value of woody biomass as a reliable energy source. The high proportion of moisture content in fuelwood could result in delayed ignition and devolatilization (Lu et al 2008).…”

Abstract. Yuliansyah. Haqiqi MT, Setiawan KA, Setiawan A, Saputra PD, Romadlon HSI, Mukhdlor A, Ramadhan R, Amirta R. 2022. Fast-growing native tree species to the secondary forest of East Kalimantan, Indonesia: Physicochemical properties of woody materials for bioelectricity feedstocks. Biodiversitas 23: 3379-3386. The conversion of woody biomass into electricity through a thermochemical process has recently attracted significant attention worldwide to promote green energy production. It provides a low-cost and straightforward operation promising for developing rural areas, especially with limited transportation access. In East Kalimantan Province, almost all remote areas are surrounded by forests with high tree species diversity, which is the potential to be utilized for sustainable feedstocks in electric power plants. This study pointed out the energy potential produced from woody biomass of selected fast-growing tree species native to East Kalimantan secondary tropical forest: Elaeocarpus ferrugineus (Jacq.) Steud., Ficus aurata (Miq.) Miq., Fordia splendidissima (Blume ex Miq.) Buijsen, Lindera lucida (Blume) Boerl., Mallotus paniculatus (Lam.) Mull. Arg. and Schima wallichii (DC). Their wood physicochemical properties were firstly investigated. Furthermore, each species' wood quality for solid energy purposes was presented as the fuel value index (FVI). The results revealed that the change from greenwood into wood chip effectively removed the moisture content, thus improving efficiency to achieve higher energy potency. Our findings showed that the highest energy potency was obtained from the wood chip of F. splendidissima (3.61 MWh/ton), followed by S. wallichii (2.98 MWh/ton). A similar pattern was also found in FVI determination showing that the wood chip of S. Splendidissima had the greatest value (8970). Therefore, we observed that the high quality of S. splendidissima compared to other selected fast-growing species indicates its high suitability for further large-scale crop plantation to supply wood chips for biomass-based electricity generation.

“…Wood biomass is a potentially renewable resource to replace conventional materials in many applications such as the generation of bioenergy and the production of bioproducts (chemicals and other materials). 6 Currently, the wood beneficiation process in the Brazilian timber industry generates about 8k tons of wood sawdust residue without proper reuse, 7 and this number is much higher worldwide. The excessive generation of wood waste associated with its little use results in environmental damages, as well as a significant loss of opportunity for the industry to aggregate value to its process.…”

This work shows the synthesis and characterization of graphite-like materials produced from the pyrolysis of biomass, obtained from industrial waste. The product has shown interesting electrochemical characteristics for application in the formation of a composite material with polyaniline, creating a perspective of application in a so-called “waste” helping to avoid environmental issues associated with this industrial disposal. The raw pyrolyzed material was further separated into nanosized structures by applying high-potency ultrasonic radiation, which was used in the modification of flexible electrodes of polyaniline, resulting in a composite material. Thermogravimetric analysis, electrochemical experiments, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electronic microscopy were used for the characterization of the material itself and the composite electrode. The interaction between the modified graphite-like materials and polyaniline produced a high superficial area electrode, in a one-step synthesis. Such composite material favors the intrinsic conductivity of the conducting polymer, which was confirmed by the enhancement of its electrochemical and interfacial properties even in milder electrolytes, generating good perspectives for other electrochemical applications. These results demonstrate the potential of developing this composite material in energy storage electrodes.
