Wood as an Energy Resource analyzes how wood is seen as a possible source of alternative energy and evaluates the extent of its use. The book covers the trends of wood as fuel in different countries, including its current use, value as fuel, comparison with other fuels, supply, delivery, and transportation. Wood conversion to other forms of fuel and the deployment of advanced wood combustion and conversion systems are also discussed. The text also explains wood resource bases and supplies, as well as the future of wood as fuel. The monograph is highly recommended for experts and researchers in energy conservation as well as renewable and alternative energy sources, especially for those who want to make studies regarding this topic. The book will also be helpful for advocates and environmentalists who want to be educated and educate others about wood as source of energy and fuel.

This book takes the reader on a journey from the moment that raw wood material enters the factory to the final pellet consumption. It starts by reviewing biomass application and its role for the future development of renewable energies, discussing different biomass conversion methods as alternatives to direct utilization. The second chapter then comprehensively examines densification processes, with a focus on the pelleting process. Chapter three further elaborates on the pelleting process, including an overview of the pellet structure and properties, and the history of this process. The subsequent chapters provide a detailed account of the production process from raw material delivery to final distribution, addressing the chemical and physical quality, and presenting measurement methods and standards. In the final chapters, the authors describe in detail the pellet combustion process and emissions.
