Abstract:
Biomass brings a number of new challenges to the energy industry including fuel supply, transport and storage, milling, handling and combustion. This paper focuses on the storage of biomass fuels in stockpiles and the impact this has on degradation and subsequently on the handling, milling and combustion characteristics of the fuels. A variety of biomass fuels relevant to the energy industry have been investigated ranging from raw, untreated wood chips through processed wood pellets to thermally treated wood pellets. Both outdoor and indoor storage scenarios are being studied throughout both the summer and winter months, so that the impact of the weather can be understood.
