Abstract: The increasing demand for renewable energy in industrial and agro-industrial sectors has 17 encouraged the substitution of fossil fuels by lignocellulosic biomass in cogeneration systems. In 18 this context, the residues generated in the palm oil agroindustry – specifically palm mesocarp fiber 19 and palm empty fruit bunch fiber Leia mais…

Abstract: Energy generation from renewable resources has grown in recent years due to the need to reduce the use of petroleum derivatives for economic and environmental reasons. Solid biofuels have proven to be an alternative for both electricity production and the transportation sector. To efficiently utilize these materials in their Leia mais…

Abstract: Agricultural biomass residues represent viable and sustainable energy alternatives, contributing to the mitigation of atmospheric emissions, rural development, and the transition to a low-carbon economy. Brazil has great potential for energy use from this residue, but to achieve this, it is necessary to understand its composition. Obtaining this information Leia mais…

Abstract: Elephant grass (EG) and palm empty fruit bunch fibre (EFB) have great potential for bioenergy. However, their high content of alkaline ash, chlorine and other contaminants hinders direct combustion by promoting slagging, fouling and pollutant emissions. To address this issue, the main goal of this study was to assess Leia mais…
