A wider use of the regional bioenergy resources for the development of environmentally friendly energy production providing microwave pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass pellets (wood, straw, and peat) of different origin at a frequency of 2.45 GHz is promoted. A hypothesis is proposed and tested that microwave pretreatment of biomass pellets and blending of such pretreated pellets with raw pellets can be applied to enhance the thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass blends from different origin. The test results confirm that increased reactivity and heating value of pretreated biomass pellets enhances heat energy production and limits the formation of green house gases (GHG) emissions, thus advancing a more efficient usage of agricultural and forestry waste for energy production.

微波预处理生物质颗粒改善生物质气化/燃烧特性

促进更广泛地使用区域生物能源资源开发环境友好型能源生产，以 2.45 GHz 的频率对不同来源的木质纤维素生物质颗粒（木材、稻草和泥炭）进行微波预处理。提出并测试了一个假设，即生物质颗粒的微波预处理以及此类预处理颗粒与生颗粒的混合可用于增强不同来源的木质纤维素生物质混合物的热化学转化。测试结果证实，预处理生物质颗粒的反应性和热值增加，可提高热能生产并限制温室气体 (GHG) 排放的形成，从而促进更有效地利用农业和林业废物进行能源生产。
