“…A 1 percent increase in biomass energy consumption leads economic growth by 0.601 percent keeping other things same in the long run production function. This long run finding is consistent with the recent studies of Payne [62] for US economy, Bildirici [13] for Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Guatemala, Bildirici and Özaksoy [15] for European countries, Bildirici [14] for transition economies and, Ozturk and Bilgili [57] for Sub-Saharan African countries. Economic growth is positively linked with capital use and it is also statistically significant at 1% level.…”

“…biomass energy consumption causes economic growth and in resulting, economic growth causes biomass energy consumption in Granger sense. This finding is consistent with the recent findings of Bildirici and Özaksoy [15], and Bildirici [13] who noted the feedback effect existing between biomass energy consumption and economic growth but found to be contradictory with the result of Payne [62] who reported that economic growth is outcome of biomass energy consumption. Moreover, the feedback effect exists between capital use and biomass energy consumption.…”

“…Various sources of biomass energy in BRICS countries are divided into three main categories; wood, non-wood and waste. The wood source is found in forests and include -trees, plants, leaves, bush trees; non-wood source is mainly comprised of -husk, saw dust, plant stems, biogases, hemp, nutshell, grass and other crop residual garbage; and the waste includes -food waste, sewage, animal waste (Payne [62]; Bildirici and Özaksoy [15]; Bildirici [13]). …”

This paper investigates the relationship between biomass energy consumption and economic growth by incorporating capital and trade openness in production function for the case of BRICS countries. In doing so, unit root and cointegration tests have been used in order to examine unit root properties and long run relationship between the series for the period of 1991Q1-2015Q4. The results confirm the presence of long-run equilibrium relationship between the variables. Moreover, biomass energy consumption stimulates economic growth. Capital increments economic growth and trade openness spurs economic growth. The feedback effect exists between biomass energy consumption and economic growth. Trade openness Granger causes economic growth, capital and biomass energy consumption. The policy to adopt biomass as the primary source of renewable energy helps BRICS countries to achieve sustainable development goal in both short-run and long-run. However, the key innovative point of this study is to establish the sign for Granger causality test.

In this paper, we conduct research on the forestry economic growth forecast model based on fuzzy theory and higher dimensional projection model. Forestry economic development model is based on the specific situation of forestry resources in this region as well as the forestry economy development present situation and the development of forestry policy, combines the condition of the region's natural environment and social resources, social and economic development status quo. Under this basis, introducing the related theories into the target issues will be important for the systematic analysis. In this economic development under the background of the globalization, China's forestry economic development must keep up with the development of the economic globalization. We integrate the mathematical model to propose the solution of the issues that is innovative.

Biomass in the form of crop residues represents a significant energy source in regions whose development is based on agricultural production. Among many possibilities of utilizing biomass for energy generation, combustion is the most common. With the aim of improving and optimizing the combustion process of crop residues, an experimental rig for straw combustion in a fixed bed was constructed. This paper gives a brief review of working characteristics of the experimental rig, as well as the results for three different measuring regimes, with the purpose to investigate the effect of air-flow rate on the wheat straw combustion in a fixed bed. For all three regimes analysed in this paper bulk density of the bed was the same, 60 kg/m 3 , combustion air was without preheating and air-flow rates were: 1152, 1872, and 2124 kg/m 2 h. The effect of air-flow rate on the ignition rate, burning rate, temperature profile of the bed and flue gas composition were analysed. It was concluded that in the regime with the lowest air-flow rate progress of combustion had two clearly conspicuous stages: the ignition propagation stage and the char and unburned material oxidation stage. At the highest air-flow rate the entire combustion occurred mostly in a single stage, due to increased air supply oxidized the char, remaining above the ignition front, simultaneously with the reactions of volatiles. Despite that, the optimal combustion process, the highest value of ignition rate, burning rate, and bed temperature was achieved with air-flow rate of 1872 kg/m 2 h.
