Conversion Technologies

Valorising biomass waste and producing renewable energy or materials is the aim of several conversion technologies. In this work, we consider two residues from different production chains: lignocellulosic residues from agriculture and wool residues from sheep husbandry. These materials are produced in large quantities, and their disposal is often costly and challenging for farmers. For their valorisation, we focus on slow pyrolysis for the former and water hydrolysis for the latter, concisely presenting the main literature related to these two processes. Pyrolysis produces the C-rich biochar, suitable for soil amending. Hydrolysis produces a N-rich fertiliser. We demonstrate how these two processes could be fruitfully integrated, as their products can be flexibly mixed to produce fertilisers. This solution would allow the achievement of balanced and tuneable ratios between C and N and the enhancement of the mechanical properties. We propose scenarios for this combined valorisation and for its coupling with other industries. As a result, biomass waste would be returned to the field, following the principles of circular economy.

Western Greece

Agricultural biomass can be best described as the organic matter residues from farming that remain within the fields after harvesting, along with tree trimmings. From the overall Greek Energy Balance, only a small fraction consists of biomass and this has been the main driving force behind this study. Due to the numerous ongoing agricultural activities, western Greece was selected as an ideal area for a case study. As a second step, the aim was to investigate the feasibility of the current anaerobic digestion plants to utilize the total biomass as feedstock. An additional scope to provide certifiable proof of the essential rural biomass assets available. Information on the potential of agricultural biomass is provided, with a focus on the performance specifications and the social advantages, but also the soil added substances and the produced biofuels. Subsequently, two options for waste management were discussed to illustrate the possibility of generating energy. The anaerobic digestion plants available in western Greece are illustrated in detail and the yearly rate of the main agrarian biomass is evaluated to be 715,080 tons. Arable crops, mechanical plants and tree trimming are recorded as the noteworthy sources. It is estimated that the proposed anaerobic digestion system will handle the entire amount of biomass and deliver max per year electricity 775 GWh and thermal energy 1.119 GWh.

<p><strong><em>Abstract:</em></strong> <em>The</em> <em>fast production</em>, <em>easy convertion and environmental friendly of</em> <em>renewable energy sources is very important to be realized immedietly. Converting of biomass waste to renewable energy is an alternative way. Aim of this study was to understand the process of producing combustible gas from liquid waste of ethanol industry. This waste was then fermented anaerobically with no light to produce gas. In this study, we used three variation of liquid waste i.e original waste, and waste with addition of 5% and 10% sucrose. Result of the experiment showed that the longer reaction time will lower the permanganat value of substrat and higher the convertion. The highest value of convertion was obtained from waste with 5% sucrose addition at 51.3 mL/second of liquid volumetric rate for three days operation time.</em></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>fermentation, sucrose, liquid waste </em></p>

Conventional Fuel

Reduction of conventional fuel has encouraged to find new sources of renewable energy. Oil produced from the pyrolysis method using biomass is considered as an emerging source of renewable energy. Pyrolytic oil produced in pyrolysis needs to be upgraded to produce bio-oil that can be used with conventional fuel. However, pyrolytic oil contains high amounts of oxygen that lower the calorific value of fuel, creates corrosion, and makes the operation unstable. On the other hand, the up-gradation process of pyrolytic oil involves solvent and catalyst material that requires a high cost. In this regard, the co-pyrolysis method can be used to upgrade the pyrolytic oil where two or more feedstock materials are involved. The calorific value and oil yield in the co-pyrolysis method are higher than pyrolytic oil. Also, the upgraded oil in the co-pyrolysis method contains low water that can improve the fuel property. Therefore, the co-pyrolysis of biomass waste is an emerging source of energy. Among different biomasses, solid waste and aquatic plants are significantly used as feedstock in the co-pyrolysis method. As a consequence, pressure on conventional fuel can be reduced to fulfill the demand for global energy. Moreover, the associated operating and production cost of the co-pyrolysis method is comparatively low. This method also reduces environmental pollution.

Region Data

In this paper the attention has been focused on the energy from biomass by-product, including forest biomass and agricultural production, waste and other sources of renewable energy, available in the Basilicata Region. In order to determine the quantity of extractable biomass from the forests of the region data from plans for forest management were used. These data were imported in a Geographic Information System, in order to determine in which part of the Region there is the possibility to find greater quantity of biomass. As for the determination of the quantities of agricultural biomass, the energy crops and the agricultural waste (such as crop residues, grass cuttings, pruning, manure, waste coming from agro-food industries, etc.) were considered too. The reuse and exploitation of these wastes, while contributing to the solution of problems related to their disposal, promote their recovery as a primary source of energy. Once estimated the annual amount of biomass, the percentage of the annual energy contribution which this kind of by-product is able to ensure was determined; this renewable energy source may therefore significantly contribute to the development of the agro-forestry sector.
