The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass to produce fuels and chemicals is an effective way
to gradually relieve the global threats of petroleum exhaustion and climate change …

This review provides a brief overview of the potential applications of hydrochar and its
derivatives. It first summarized the key processes of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of …

Hydrothermal carbonization is a thermochemical conversion process that is used as an
opportunity to convert biomass and organic waste in the presence of water into solid biofuel …

Growing concerns over the environmental impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
uncertainty of future fossil fuel prices, geopolitical instability, and consumer preferences are …

Two types of biofuel pellets were prepared from raw biomass and the corresponding
hydrochar. Fuel qualities of the two types of pellets including pellet density, mechanical …

Agripellets from barley straw wastes have been produced in an annular die pellet mill. The
semi-industrial scale of the pilot plant allowed for measurement of the die temperature, and …

The present work aims to investigate the influence of the main process parameters (pressure
and temperature) and biomass characteristics (moisture content and particle size) on some …

Torrefaction has been recognized as a promising strategy to improve handling and storage
properties of wood-based pellets, thus producing a uniform-quality commodity with high …

Torrefaction and densification are crucial steps in upgrading biomass as feedstock for
energy generation and metallurgical applications. This paper attempts to discuss essential …

Straw, sawdust and other herbaceous crops benefit from pelletisation, as the process
increases the materials bulk density therefore reducing transportation and storage costs; …
