Previously, on 31.01.2023 we revised technical solutions related to Fluidized bed reactor in Biomass gasification. Now, we will have a look at another aspect of this technology to find out, what are the trends in feedstock preparation for biomass gasification. For this purpose we have collected and analyzed using the Advanced...

Among the types of reactors used in biomass gasification, fluidized bed reactors form the largest group of technical solutions described in patents and applications over the past 20 years. Below we provide for your consideration a brief analysis of inventions related to this technology. More than 1300 patent documents related...

Lemna minor, also called the common duckweed or lesser duckweed, is an aquatic freshwater plant. It is used as animal fodder, bioremediator, for wastewater nutrient recovery, and also biofuel production. Unlike first generation biofuels, duckweed does not require the use of farmland as duckweed is a fairly small aquatic plant...

Nowadays a trend can be witnessed in almost all countries around the globe which focuses on the development of renewable energy sources. One condition that has to be met in order to efficiently harness the energy produced by renewables is that the storage media or batteries have to be more flexible and enduring. There are a...

Waste generation and treatment statistics in the European Union in 2020 presented by Eurostat reveals that EU‘s all economic activities and households in the EU Member States generated 2 151 million tonnes waste which corresponds 4 808 kg per capita. Of all different activities, the largest waste producer is Construction,...

Municipal waste statistics by Eurostat present tendencies in municipal waste generation and treatment in the European Union (EU) from 1995 to 2020. In general, the published data record a clear downward trend in the volume of waste landfilling, which is explained by the move of countries to alternative methods of waste...

In view of the current endeavours to reduce fossil fuel dependence and facilitate the transition to more sustainable ways of fuel production, in recent times biogas has been afforded increased attention by scientists around the world. Biogas plants use bacteria to break down biomass in an oxygen-free environment to form...

Plant seed oil is used in a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from human nutrition to fuel production. Plants are capable of generating and storing triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds which delivers the energy and carbon needed for the development of seedlings but might also be harnessed feedstock for fuel production....

Plant seed oil is a highly useful and important bioresource. It has a wide variety of applications, ranging from being an essential part of human nutrition to being used as industrial feedstock. Many plant species produce and store triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds, which is mainly used as a carbon and energy source to...

Gaining a better understanding of how tough fibres and complex sugars can be converted into biofuels and industrial products could mean taking an important step towards developing smarter materials and petroleum-free fuels. Making use of the chemical properties stored in plants, however, is no easy feat because whenever we eat...
