Abstract

The main upshots from the fuel are heat and emissions. The aim is to get high thermal energy with low emission factors. The carbon balance and CO2 mitigation study have an important decision to play in energy planning. In this context, it is necessary to understand how the bioenergy can help in mitigation by considering its potential for carbon emission reduction and sequestration.
