Thermochemical Technologies for the Optimization of Olive Wood Biomass Energy Exploitation: A Review

Giuseppe Maggiotto,
Gianpiero Colangelo,
Marco Milanese
et al.

Abstract: The use of biomass can be a strategic way to realize a carbon-neutral energy plan, ensuring a fuel feedstock. Residual biomass arising from pruning is demonstrated to be an important energy resource in terms of quantity and quality. In the Salento peninsula, Apulia Region, in the south of Italy, a dramatic outbreak of Xylella fastidiosa has decimated olive trees since 2013, gaining a considerable amount of wood biomass. This paper, starting from the need to find a way to optimize the use of this available stoc… Show more

“…These were chosen for the analysis performed in this review and will be briefly summarized and further discussed below, according to the research strategies mentioned above. It should be noted that the present work essentially focuses on the literature analysis of the research strategies used in approaching the Xfp outbreak in the Apulia region, which has been already extensively reviewed in other general aspects [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…The scientific literature, selected using the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in this work and focused on research articles, yielded 115 scientific papers over the course of ten years ( Figure 2 ), which were divided into various categories relevant to the topic under investigation. The Xf outbreak has also been covered by a relevant number of reviews in indexed journals, which have been previously listed [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] in this work but have been excluded from the research strategies analysis.…”

“…Petroleum, for example, is the third-largest source of carbon emissions, due to the processes in the refineries, leading to the necessity of researching alternatives for finite resources or mitigating their impacts through enhancing energy efficiency and optimizing equipment and parameters [6]. Meanwhile, renewable energy sources are the focus when dealing with EH, and according to this same study [5], only solar has the potential of 23,000 TW/year, followed by the less exorbitant numbers associated in Figure 1 with wind, oceanic (OTEC), hydro, geothermal, gravitational (tides) and biomass sources, the last being promoted as a carbon-neutral and transitionary source diversifying energy sources [7,8]. In addition, renewables have the potential to increase in energy-production value in the following years, as their efficiency and methodology are improving through research and development.…”
