This book draws together a small selection of full-length papers based on presentations given at the 27th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2019. The topics covered, which reflect the breadth of the program of the EUBCE conference itself, include biomass sources, various aspects of technologies used for the conversion of biomass to bioproducts and bioenergy, as well as different approaches to assessing environmental impacts, which include case studies based on different technologies in use in a range of countries.

Technology: general issues --- bioeconomy --- bio-based industry --- biomass --- bioenergy --- industrial crop --- perennial crop --- low-input agriculture --- marginal land --- MALLIS --- sustainable agriculture --- HTC --- bio-coal --- manure --- slagging --- fouling --- corrosion --- process chemistry --- combustion --- waste to energy --- struvite --- HTL --- biorefinery --- renewable fuel --- HyFlexFuel --- rice harvest pellets --- palletization --- ash recovery --- normative --- anaerobic digestion --- methane production --- co-digestion --- combined heat and power --- farm-scale --- technical-economic analysis --- life cycle assessment --- greenhouse gas emission --- Ireland --- 5-hydroxymethylfurfural --- glucose --- heteropolyacid catalysts --- agroforestry --- waste valorization --- sustainable development goals --- renewable energy --- bioenergy transitions --- circular bioeconomy --- clean cooking --- life-cycle assessment --- energy policy --- barley straw --- torrefaction --- higher heating value --- severity factor --- sustainable development --- enhancement factor --- energy yield --- climate modelling --- climate change --- climate policy --- emission accounting --- global warming potential --- global temperature change potential --- greenhouse gas emissions --- impulse response function --- Bern Carbon Cycle model --- climate impacts of agriculture system --- conventional wheat --- olive trees --- silvopastoral --- acidification --- eutrophication --- energy crops --- miscanthus --- cardoon --- Paulownia tomentosa --- microalgae --- contaminated soils --- geographic information systems (GIS) --- ArcGIS --- adsorption --- ceramic filter --- gasification --- hot-gas cleaning --- lignocellulosic biomass --- cellulose pulp --- hydrolysis --- oxygen availability --- C:N ratio --- fermentation --- itaconic acid --- Aspergillus terreus

The raw materials industry is widely considered to be too environmentally costly, and causing more losses than benefits. The responsible solving of the problems caused by this industry is not “exporting” its operations to less developed countries, but addressing all recognized hazards with dedicated technological developments. Such an approach is presented by the authors of this book. The contributions deal with the optimization of processes in the raw materials industry, obtaining energy from alternative fuels, researching the environmental aspects of industrial activities. This book determines some guidelines for the sustainable raw materials industry, describing methods of the optimized use of mined deposits and the recovery of materials, reductions in energy consumption and the recuperation of energy, minimizations in the emissions of pollutants, the perfection of quieter and safer processes, and the facilitation of modern materials-, water-, and energy-related techniques and technologies.
