Biomass sustainable development

Renewable energy scenarios depend on environmental protection, which is an essential characteristic of sustainable developments. Worldwide biomass ranks fourth as an energy resource, providing approximately 14% of the world s energy needs. Biomass, mainly now represent only 3% of primary energy consumption... 

This volume, together with the first volume entitled Carbohydrates and Sustainable Development, Part 1 - Renewable Resources for Chemistry and Biotechnology, demonstrates that a variety of industrial products can be accessed using renewable and low-cost biomass. Both volumes are based on selected papers presented at Carbohydrates as Organic Raw Materials V - Building a Sustainable Future (CORM V), held in Lisbon in January 2009. The conference was chaired by Amelia Pilar Ranter (University of Lisboa) and Yves Queneau (University of Lyon, INSA Lyon), in collaboration with Frieder W. Lichtenthaler (Technische...

Bioenergy is expected to become one of major energy resources for sustainable development of mankind. However, bioenergy supply potential cannot be infinite since land area available for biomass production is limited and a certain amount of biomass must be reserved for food and material. However, bioenergy can be produced not only from biocnergy plantations, which occupy land, but also from biomass residues (such as straw, animal dung, and wood scrap) which do not occupy land directly. These biomass residues are discliarged at various processes in biomass flow from harvest to consumption. 

Natural polymers, serving the sustainable development are of increasing importance in the next century. In spite of the extreme rapid development in the synthetic polymers, the yearly yield of the renewable natural polymers, the biomass — is still three order of magnitude higher (hundreds of billion tons/year ) than the production of plastics worldwide (200 Mt/a).

A major objective of European energy policy is to move towards more sustainable development based on a diverse mix of resources, in particular, renewable resources including biomass. Programmes devoted to this end address the pressing challenges of security of supply and climate change imponderables thereby supporting the future competitiveness of European industry.
