Wood Products’ Role as Carbon Sink Sources

To date, most discussion and research relating to the various of biomass role in mitigating CO2 emissions has been focused around its use as a fuel or as a sink. However, full utilization of the potential of biomass products, particularly from woody biomass, may provide significant opportunities. (more…)

Biodegradable Materials Definition and Example

Biodegradable materials are considered those materials that can be destroyed by microorganisms. To prevent the accumulation of non-biodegradable compounds in nature, there are two solutions that are currently under investigation: use roots or microbial strains that can attack thought products were not degradable, biodegradable materials or develop common strains.

Biofuel Plant Set Up in Tenerife

A vece the attempt to find alternatives to fossil fuels leads to something worse, such as biofuels or agrofuels, considering the drawbacks of biofuels. In Tenerife (See Hotels in Tenerife) is doing great damage to biodiversity, forests and jungles, the environment, and after all does not help in the fight against climate change. (more…)

Biomass Feedstock Productions – Challenges and Opportunities

biomass feedstock productions
Advances in biomass feedstock production are extremely important. These advances have the potential for reducing the final cost of biofuels, power, and products. In addition, advances will allow the production of plants, trees, and residues with characteristics increasingly well suited for feedstocks. For example, genetically engineered plants feedstocks may allow higher yields of usable biomass per acre for fuel and other uses. New methods in erosion control, fertilization, and pre-processing can result in (more…)
