This book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especiallybiomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environment-friendlymethods of handling, storing and burning these fuels. It iscomplete with the economic evaluation method, introduction of thepollution control equipment for limiting the emission from fuelcombustion, case studies, and costs and carbon emission comparisonsbetween conventional and alternate fuels. Many case studies areintroduced here too.
This book is an update and expansion of the "Industrial Wood EnergyHandbook" by a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology in1984. It introduces new technologies new technologies not availableat the time of the early version.

"Covering everything from the theory (such as energy content and physical properties of different fuels) to the practical (e.g. boiler, hopper and filter design), ... this is a very useful guide." (Enagri, November 2009)
