“…Due to the experimental nature of the plant, the fuel bed heating during the start-up phase is attained by means of six ceramic half-shell electric heaters located along the height of the reactor in the bubbling zone, in the low freeboard and in the middle freeboard. In this way, it is possible to contain tar production below 2.8 g/Nm 3 .…”

“…Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) are still the major energy sources for power generation in the world but represent the main contributor to greenhouse gas emission [1][2][3]. On the other hand, the use of most of the renewable energy sources (in particular solar and wind), being non-programmable, can involve several issues related to the grid stability [4] and continuity of energy supply.…”

“…A major hurdle to the successive of penetration of biomass technology is the high initial investment and capital cost, including the construction cost, initial operation cost, and the cost of storage and transport [3,13,17,55]. Many researches were conducted to evaluate the viability of the biomass project while using net present value, internal rate of return, and the payback period [7,24], which demonstrated that the profitability of the biomass project technology is essential in the successful development of biomass.…”

“…For economic and political issues, many researchers proposed corresponding suggestions regarding the particular biomass project. As to technology, the scholars focused on how to improve energy efficiency [22][23][24]. Accordingly, enlarging the use of biomass is not only feasible for technological and economic benefits, but is also significant in adding the substitute of the energy source for developing countries, although technology barriers still exist in some countries.…”
