Continued advances in technology
have facilitated new avenues to access and extract energy (in various forms)
from materials such as animal manure and crop residues that have not
traditionally been considered viable fuel sources.
encompasses the chemical conversion of such biomass feed stocks into energy
products through action of thermal processes such as Combustion, Gasification,
and Pyrolysis. Biomass gasification is a well-developed technology that has the
potential to convert various feed stocks into value added products for on-farm
heat generation and carbon sequestration. The availability of on-farm gasifiers
that can handle diverse feed stocks is limited and represents a hurdle to the widespread
Please tune-in to the upcoming Thermal Conversion of Animal Manure to Biofuel webinar, as Dr. Sammy Sadaka discusses his current research efforts in Thermo-chemical conversion technologies and explores some of the bio-energy prospects that this field offers.
