In the context of the Work Package 3 (WP3) objective, there is a need for innovation in the agricultural and forestry sectors for energy sustainability
Summary
Biomass residues (e.g., prunings, thinnings and forest residues) constitute a highly promising (and currently largely under-used) feed stock with a significant potential to be converted into useful end products This Special Issue proposal has the overall aim of developing a network around technologies for small-scale energy conversion of forestry residues for local benefit and European competitiveness. The following targets will be addressed: (i) to improve knowledge of different energy conversion processes for forest residues; (ii) to develop an expert group on forest biomass supply chains; (iii) to identify best practice for sampling of available forest biomass residues; and (iv) to create agro-forestry-scale energy districts The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers, as well as review articles, addressing recent advances on systems, processes, and materials for work safety, health, and environment. High-quality contributions that have not yet been published, or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences, are sought
