Biomass conversion into valuable products within the integrated management of bio-resources

Abstract

The present research proposes two scenarios for the biomass conversion into valuable products within the integrated management of bio-resources. The scenarios have been developed considering: the biomass availability, material and by-products characteristics and the comprehensive combination of the primary technologies used for the conversion of the biomass mixtures into energy. In scenario 1 the biomass waste valorisation is made via integrated pyrolysis and combustion treatment, while in scenario 2 the biomass conversion in done considering the integration of the pyrolysis, gasification and combustion treatments into the conversion chain. The results revealed that all analysed scenarios purposed are self-independent from the energetic point of view.
