| Résumé : |
This book provides an account of the state-of-the-art in the many aspects of thermochemeical biomass conversion and arises from the third conference in a series sponsored by the International Energy Agency's Bioenergy Agreement. All the papers have been subjected to a ful peer review process. Fundamental and applied reseach topics are included, together with demonstration and commercial applications to reflect the advances made in recent years. Attention is focused on the opportunities and problems of implementing fundamental research at larger scales of operation, encompassing both technological and engineering aspects in support of eventual commercialization. There is now a renewed interest in biomass as a significant energy resource for a wider range of reasons, such as concern over the Greenhouse Effect, energy security and socioeconomic benefits for the agricultural sector. There have been two major developments in the biomass field, the first of which is the rapidly growing emphasis on commercialization. This is evident not only in North America, where much of the pioneering work was carried out, but also in Europe where recent years have seen a surge of interest in biomass-based renewable energy, encouraged by international concerns over global warming and regional concerns over agricultural policy. The second development is the rapid changes in funding pattners that have occured in North America and Europe over the last five years. This has created severe imbalances in the levels and status of research expertise, particularly in Europe, which has enjoyed a significant growth in R&D funding. In a short frequency funding cycle, both effort and resources can be wasted, and so effective use must be made of the expanding information technology sector to learn about the state-of-the-art and maximize the benefits from R&D funding. This is a book for chemical engineers, fuel technologists, agricultural enginneers and chemists, in the academic world and industry. |
