“…It is expected for biomass to be highly liable to SPONCOM, given that it has a high volatile matter, high moisture content, and low ash content as seen in Table . These results correlate with those reported by Manic et al . and Torrent-Garcia et al There is an indirect correlation between the fixed carbon and the TG spc index, and this is in line with what Torrent-Garcia et al reported when they assessed the self-ignition risks of different types of solid biofuels by thermal analysis.…”

“…High total carbon content accelerates SPONCOM, hence biomass treated with 50% IL-C had the lowest carbon content because it is less liable to SPONCOM. Generally, ILs have a positive impact on the calorific value; hence, the calorific value of untreated biomass increased post-treatment for all imidazolium-based ILs.…”

“…The biomass sample that was treated with 50% IL-A had the least ash content, while the biomass treated with 50% IL-C had relatively higher ash content compared to the other treated biomass. Given that high ash content results in low SPONCOM, 8 it is expected that the biomass treated with 50% IL-C will be less liable to SPONCOM than the biomass treated with 50% IL-A and 50% IL-B.…”

Emim HSO 4 , and [Bmim + OAc − ] on the SPONCOM liability of Sersia lancea biomass sample harvested from the Vaal River Mine, South Africa. The results of the derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) analysis of this indigenous biomass showed that it is highly liable to SPONCOM prior to treatment with ILs. Following treatment with all three ILs, the DTG results showed that ILs can potentially inhibit the SPONCOM liability of biomass, with [Bmim + OAc − ] showing the best inhibitory effects. With [Bmim + OAc − ] (IL-C), the TGspc index of S. lancea biomass was reduced to 0.0207 from 0.1457%/°C min −1 , and the sample was classified as low reactive after treatment. This indicates that less oxygen was consumed by the treated samples with [Bmim + OAc − ] than by the untreated ones. From the textural properties of the IL-treated biomass, the mechanism responsible for the lower liability of the treated biomass was determined. This study establishes that biomass is very reactive, and it is important to understand its liability to SPONCOM, before being shipped as a fired or co-fired fuel across the Atlantic.

“…Safe handling and utilization of bioenergy to avoids risks such as fires and explosions has come into focus in recent years. Manic et al [45] presented an innovative thought for assessing the ignition risk and provided a ranking of the ignition risk for biomass fuels. Their results provided relatively accurate, simple, and quick determination data necessary for the design and application of appropriate measures to reduce fire and explosion hazards related to the operation of biomass.…”

Sustainability has become a broad societal goal, aiming to ensure that human beings coexist safely and harmoniously with nature over a longer time. The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is coming to an end. The development and merits of sustainable energy supply, advanced technology, and economic features have received significant attention over the last few decades. However, significant gaps still exist with respect to how to design, construct, and implement hybrid and optimal energy systems with the lowest investment and cost. Since 2002, the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conferences have become a significant meeting venue for researchers to introduce, discuss, share, and disseminate novel concepts and ideas. This paper presents an overview of published articles in the Special Issues (SIs) dedicated by the series SDEWES conferences, especially those published in Energies recommended by the 16th SDEWES Conference, which was held on 10–15 October 2021 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This SI in Energies focused on four main topics, including the application of renewable bioenergy, component enhancement in renewable systems, sustainable development for buildings and economic analysis and evaluation for sustainability. The collected papers provide insight into the topics related to recent advances in improving sustainable efficiency, including studies on waste-to-wealth techniques, utilization of hybrid bioenergy systems, heat exchangers and other components for performance enhancement, energy supply and demand analysis, low-temperature DHC systems, techno-economic assessment, and environmental evaluation.

Napier grass is a potential solid biofuel that can be used as a renewable energy resource. Nevertheless, its tendency for self‐heating and the subsequent self‐ignition remain unknown, which are common problems in solid fuel. In this work, thermal decomposition characteristics of Napier grass in air and inert conditions were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the pertinent kinetic parameters were established using model‐free methods. The average activation energy of Napier grass thermal decomposition is 285 and 382 kJ/mol under oxidative and inert conditions, respectively. The linear plot obtained through model‐free methods shows a high linear correlation coefficient at conversion ranges of 0.2–0.7 during combustion and 0.4–0.6 during pyrolysis. The ignition and burnout temperatures were evaluated, and ignition index of Napier grass was established. Average ignition temperature obtained for air was 217°C while 200°C for inert condition. The burnout temperatures between 691 and 984°C were observed. This research facilitates in understanding fire threat posed by tendency of Napier grass to self‐heat and provides valuable information for safe conditions of Napier grass storage and transportation.
