Full Description

Bioenergy from Forests provides a comprehensive guide to the production of bioenergy and biomaterials from forests residues, providing the tools to produce sustainable bioenergy and reduce the risk of wildfires globally. The book addresses the key role forest endogenous resources play in improving energy technologies and mitigating wildfire propagation. Forest valorization and wildfires mitigation strategies are discussed in the context of bioenergy production, supported by a detailed case study of successful implementation in Portugal. A techno-economic analysis of gasification and combustion power plants using forest residues as the key feedstock is provided and considers different scales of implementation. Furthermore, the development of new multifuel CHP configurations are presented, integrating bio-oil production and targeting high efficiencies, and supported by case studies from the pulp and paper industry. The technical, environmental, and policy issues of forest-fuels-to-energy technologies are assessed from the perspective of industry, local communities, and forest management. Finally, the book provides a unique compilation of the views of international experts on the deployment and role of bioenergy in sustainable forest management and wildfire prevention through a collection of interviews and short opinion pieces.

Bioenergy from Forests provides an invaluable resource to researchers and practitioners involved in bioenergy production and forest management, and environmental and chemical engineers involved in the agricultural, energy, and cement, waste, pulp and paper industries.
