It will help investors in China to develop, with assistance of local biomass supply experts, their own solutions. The focus is on biomass residues, in particular agricultural residues (mainly straw and stalks) and forestry residues (mainly residues from forestry operations). This handbook covers a wide range of topics related to biomass fuel supply risk in the planning and preparation stages for a biomass-fired power plant. Chapter two introduces the use of biomass as an energy source, including fuel selection considerations and the fuel standards and specifications required to match a particular fuel supply to a power generation system. Chapter three describes the use of biomass resource assessments at the project planning stage. Chapters four and five give insight into the biomass supply from straw and forestry residues, respectively. Finally, fuel supply management is covered in chapter six, which addresses the topics to be considered both at the plant planning stage and at the operational stage. It describes a methodological approach for fuel inspection and quality control, as well as an instrument for assessing fuel supply risks and developing mitigation strategies.CC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONAGRICULTURAL CROPSAGRICULTURAL RESIDUESAIR QUALITYAIR STAGINGALKALIALTERNATIVE USESAMOUNT OF HEATAPPROACHASH CONTENTATMOSPHEREAVAILABILITYBAGASSEBALANCEBIO ENERGYBIODIESELBIOENERGYBIOFUELBIOFUELSBIOMASSBIOMASS AVAILABILITYBIOMASS BOILERBIOMASS COGENERATIONBIOMASS COLLECTIONBIOMASS DEMANDBIOMASS ENERGYBIOMASS FEEDSTOCKBIOMASS FEEDSTOCKSBIOMASS FOR ENERGYBIOMASS FOR POWER GENERATIONBIOMASS FUELBIOMASS FUEL PRODUCTIONBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS POWERBIOMASS POWER INDUSTRYBIOMASS POWER PLANTBIOMASS POWER PLANTSBIOMASS PRODUCTIONBIOMASS RESIDUESBIOMASS RESOURCEBIOMASS RESOURCESBIOMASS SUPPLYBIOMASS TECHNOLOGYBIOMASS USERSBIOMASS UTILIZATIONBLACK LIQUORBOILERBOILER DESIGNBOILER TECHNOLOGYBOILER TUBESBOILERSBOTTOM ASHBRIQUETTESBULK DENSITYBURNERSCADMIUMCALCIUMCALCULATIONCALORIFIC VALUECARBONCATALYTIC REDUCTIONCATTLE RAISINGCELLULOSECELLULOSIC BIOMASSCHEMICAL COMPOSITIONCHEMICAL CONTENTCHLORIDESCHLORINECLCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOALCOGENERATIONCOLLECTION COSTSCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION AIRCOMBUSTION PROCESSCOMBUSTION PRODUCTSCOMBUSTION SYSTEMSCOMBUSTION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCONSTRUCTION MATERIALSCONVERSION EFFICIENCYCONVERSION OF BIOMASSCONVERSION PROCESSCORNCORROSIONCOST OF ENERGYCROPCROP RESIDUECROP RESIDUESDUSTEFFICIENT USEELECTRICAL OUTPUTELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONEMISSIONEMISSION LEVELEMISSIONSEMISSIONS CONTROLEMISSIONS LIMITATIONEMISSIONS OF NITROGEN OXIDESENERGY APPLICATIONSENERGY COMPANYENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CROPENERGY CROPSENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY PURPOSESENERGY RESEARCHENERGY SECTORENERGY SERVICESENERGY SYSTEMENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEXTRACTIONFEEDSTOCKFEEDSTOCK FOR ETHANOLFEEDSTOCK FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTIONFEEDSTOCK SOURCEFERTILIZATIONFLUE GASFLUE GAS CLEANINGFLY ASHFLY ASHESFORESTFOREST INVENTORIESFOREST INVENTORYFORESTRYFORESTRY OPERATIONSFORESTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFUELFUEL MIXFUEL QUALITYFUEL REQUIREMENTSFUEL SOURCESFUEL SPECIFICATIONSFUEL SUPPLYFUELSGASEOUS FUELGEOTHERMALGLUCOSEHARD COALHARMFUL EMISSIONSHEATHEAT EXCHANGERHIGH ASH CONTENTHIGH-PRESSURE STEAMHUMIDITYHYDROCHLORIC ACIDHYDROGENINCINERATIONINCOMEINDUSTRIAL WASTEKILOWATT-HOURLAND USELEACHINGLIGNINLIQUID FUELLIVING ORGANISMSMAIZEMANURESMOISTURE CONTENTNATURAL GASNITROGENNITROGEN OXIDESNONRENEWABLE ENERGYNONRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCENOXNUTRIENTSOIL EQUIVALENTORGANIC MATERIALORGANIC MATTERORGANIC MATTER CONTENTORGANIC WASTEOXYGENPARTICLESPARTICULATEPARTICULATE EMISSIONSPELLETSPESTICIDESPHOTOSYNTHESISPLANT OPERATIONPLANT OWNERPLASTICSPOLYMERIZATIONPOLYMERSPOTASSIUMPOULTRY LITTERPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GENERATION SYSTEMPOWER PLANTPRECIPITATIONQUALITY FUELSRAINRAW MATERIALRAW MATERIALSRENEWABLE ENERGYRICE HUSKSSANDSEWAGESLUDGESLURRIESSODIUMSODIUM CHLORIDESOLID BIOFUELSOLID BIOFUELSSOLID BIOMASSSOLID FUELSORGHUMSOURCE OF ENERGYSOXSOYBEAN OILSTEAM TEMPERATURESTRAW COMBUSTIONSTRAW SUPPLIERSSUGARCANESUGARSSULFURSULFUR OXIDESSUPPLY OF BIOMASSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTHERMAL CONVERSIONTHERMAL ENERGYTRANSPORT COSTSTREE BARKTURBINEUNIT OPERATIONSUSE OF BIOMASSWASTE MATERIALSWASTE WOODWHEATWINDWIND POWERWOODWOOD CHIPSWOOD ENERGYWOOD FUELWOOD PELLETSWOOD PROCESSINGWOODY BIOMASSWOODY CROPSZINCWorld Bank10.1596/2897
