Environmental and energy dependency problems derived from high
fossil fuels consumption have made necessary the development of new
energy models to be renewable and sustainable, efficient, practical
and economical, and cost effective, to meet the demand for a
sustainable energy supply.Among renewable resources, biomass is
destined to play an important role in these new energy models since
agricultural and forestry residues are an energy resource that is
produced in relatively large amounts throughout the world and
regarded as a renewable and environmentally safe way of providing
energy.Compiling information on the conversion of energy from
biomass, the book focuses on the use of pellets as homogeneous
solid biofuels. It describes all the changes that forestry and
agricultural biomass undergo to be converted into thermal energy
and analyses the inputs and outputs of the process.It has to be
noted that the standards used as guidelines and references in all
the chapters of the book are there in order to not to forget the
thresholds and guidelines established and thus to ensure a proper
use.This book guides the reader through the entire
biomass-to-energy process, emphasising important aspects and how
the quality of the biofuel can be identified. It acts as a starting
point for professionals and researchers interested in working with
biomass and a guide for those people interested in the
implementation of the technologies described.
