Torrefaction of fruit peel waste to produce environmentally friendly biofuel

Yi-Li Lin et al.

Summary: The study found that torrefaction temperature, not the reaction duration, had a dominant influence on the characteristics of the produced biochar. As temperature and time increased, fixed carbon and ash contents rose while volatile matter content and EROI decreased. Cofiring biochar with coal in power plants had the potential to increase HHV, energy density, and combustion efficiency while reducing GHG emissions.

Torrefaction of fruit waste seed and shells for biofuel production with reduced CO2 emission

Yi-Li Lin et al.

Summary: This study found that the torrefaction temperature had a greater influence on the torrefied biomass than the torrefaction times, increasing the torrefaction temperatures and times resulted in biochar with comparable atomic ratios to lignite, with Passiflora edulis shells exhibiting higher thermal stability than Mangifera indica seeds.

Evaluation of thermochemical routes for the valorization of solid coffee residues to produce biofuels: A Brazilian case

Clara Lisseth Mendoza Martinez et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the characteristics of various residues from coffee production in Brazil and explores their potential for conversion to biofuels through thermochemical methods. The pulp, husk, and parchment are rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, making them suitable for different conversion routes. However, drying is a key challenge that needs to be addressed for these residues.

Effect of different pre-treatment methods on gasification properties of grass biomass

N. T. Sibiya et al.

Summary: Wet torrefaction showed significant improvement in gasification properties of grass biomass with higher reactivity index and lower activation energy, likely due to the enhancement of pore structure and pore volume in the treated biomass.

Comparative life cycle energy and greenhouse gas footprints of dry and wet torrefaction processes of various biomass feedstocks

Maryam Akbari et al.

Summary: This study compares the life cycle energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of electricity generation from bio-coals produced from various biomass feedstocks via dry torrefaction and wet torrefaction processes. Results show that most pathways are competitive with coal-based electricity in terms of GHG emissions, with pine woodchips biochar-based electricity generation being the best option in terms of emissions reduction and net energy ratios. Sensitivity analysis of various factors was conducted, and the developed information can be used for investment decisions and policy formulation globally.
