Innovative Renewable Waste Conversion Technologies

Abstract

The biofuels are a large category of fuels with energy characteristics. Each of these has a dominant energy characteristic, which makes it particular. For this reason, a matrix technology is proposed for increasing the efficiency of these biofuels and economic use of biofuels for energy generation. A complex layout is proposed for defining and solving most of the adequate combustion technologies of a biofuel and, finally, a matrix for optimizing the technical solution for biofuel combustion, which is exemplified through the most representative technical realizations.
