Densified Biofuel - an Alternative Source of Environmentally Sound and Renewable Energy

Paper in proceedings, 2003

Advantages of densified biofuels as promising renewable and environmentally sound source for sustainable heat and power generation are discussed. Combustion characteristics of single particles of seven pelletised and three natural biofuels in a fluidized bed have been experimentally studied. The data obtained are described by mathematical models of devolatilisation and char combustion and empirical correlations.
