Abstract

Lignocellulosic agricultural residues are huge, but a considerably underutilized resource of biomass is available for energy. Mobilization of this potential for energy gives an opportunity to provide a secure energy supply contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector. The chapter presents an original approach to introduce in the energy flow the lignocellulosic agricultural residues, in particular in areas where these ones are highly present. The improvement of quality and efficiency of agricultural residues’ combustion requires using special equipments and technical solution for fulfilling the environmental requirements, presented in this chapter. The operation of energy equipments impacts the environment. Thus, environmental impact assessments are required to evaluate the level, the possible effects and to determine regulations update.
