Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Biomass is a sustainable resource for energy production and material recovery through thermal, material, and chemical recycling technology. Biomass is the one of the most promising sustainable resources that people count on in order to create a sustainable society. Biomass is usually classified into three categories, namely: waste biomass, unused biomass, and plantation biomass. The advantages of biomass are its easy accessibility as long as sunlight is available, abundancy, and storage ability. Biomass sometimes creates a big headache for stakeholders, because of the advantages mentioned earlier. With technologies, however, biomass can be a precious resource that provides profit to stakeholders. Biomass is not a useless material, but a resource that contains the absolute sustainable energy of sunlight.
(1) Current technologies and real situations surrounding biomass for its recycling are presented in this book. Biomass recycling, including collection and hauling, are presented in this Issue. This Issue may practically help stakeholders who confront biomass problems.
(2) Situations using biomass and technologies are not the same as previous cases, and have been changing throughout time. Some technologies are already useless or do not match the current situations. The most recent cases and technologies of biomass recycling have been introduced.
