Research GroupMy researchAs global energy demands evolve, the inclusion of biomass as a source of heat and fuel has become increasingly relevant to academic study. A significant biomass processing hurdle is drying, which has lacked developments in efficiencies. A novel approach has therefore been developed for the drying of biomass using a reduced energy input. |
