STUDY ON RE COVER Y OF LOW CALORIFIC VALUE BY ENERGY SAVING DR YING OF WOOD Y BIOMASS FUELS INCLUDING BAMBOO CHIPS

抄録

While the global focus is on decarbonization, Japan is struggling to introduce renewable energy.Japan's small size and the fact that 70% of its land area is covered by mountains and forests limit the potential for lar ge scale solar power generation and wind power generation in particular. On the other hand, the trees in those forests are aging, and furthermore, erosion by moso bamboo, a non native sp ecies, is causing landslides. Therefore, we are aiming to develop a sm all biomass boiler, assuming the mixed burning of bamboo and fast growing trees in addition to woody fuel. In this case, the moisture content of the woody fuel is a very important factor in the combustion of the boiler. It is known that the higher the wate r conte nt of wood fuel, the lower its lower calorific value and we focused on a method to efficiently recover the water content of woody fuel and conducted experiments.
