Short description
Updating the Industrial Wood Energy Handbook by a team from Georgia Tech, this book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especially biomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environmentally-friendly methods of handling, storing and burning these fuels. It outlines the economic evaluation method, introduction of pollution control equipment for limiting the emission from fuel combustion, case studies, and costs and carbon emission comparisons between conventional and alternate fuels. Many case studies are introduced as well, outlining how to reduce both costs and emissions by introducing alternative fuels and efficiency processes.
