Urban forests are vital in this transition, as they provide various ecosystem services and allow to re-shape and re-think cities. Based on...

Influential properties on mechanical degradation of densified torrefied biomass in large scale transportation and storage

The poster investigates the mechanical properties (Particle and bulk densities, compressive strength, bending strength, and the angle of repose) of a variety of torrefied and non-torrefied biomass pellets and shows the relationship between different properties. Moreover, a novel and quick method to determine the particle size distribution of...
