Abstract:The current energy policy targets reducing energy dependence and minimizing pollutant emissions. Therefore, with the growing interest in using biomass as an alternative energy source, conducting scientific studies on its behavior and optimizing the respective conversion systems has become imperative. The present study focuses on investigating the combustion of biochar pellets in a laboratory-scale traveling grate furnace at three different bed temperatures: 700, 750, and 800 °C. The biochars were obtained via … Show more
