A functional discussion of the crop selection process for
biomass energy

The Selection Process of Biomass Materials for the Production
of Bio-fuels and Co-firing provides a detailed examination and
analysis for a number of energy crops and their use as a source for
generating electricity and for the production of bio-fuels.
Renowned renewable energy expert and consultant Dr. Najib Altawell
begins with the fundamentals of bio-fuels and co-firing and moves
on to the main feature, which is the methodology that assists
energy scientists and engineers to arrive at the most suitable
biomass materials tailored to each company's business and
economic environments and objectives.

This methodology provides a framework whereby power-generating
companies can insert their own values for each factor, whether
business factor (BF) or scientific & technical factors
(S&T) or both simultaneously. The methodology provides a list
of factors related to the biomass energy business. The average
values have been obtained from the survey method and laboratory
tests. These values are the standard values power companies can use
if they need or wish to use them.

The Selection Process of Biomass Materials for the Production
of Bio-fuels and Co-firing has been designed and compiled for
the widest possible range of readers, researchers, businesspeople,
and economists who are connected to the renewable energy field in
general, and biomass energy in particular. Because of its focus on
practical data and applications, the book is also accessible for
general readers who may or may not have a technical or scientific
background.
