Life cycle assessment of energy production from forest residues
Costa, Tamíris Pacheco daThe production of bioenergy from forest biomass residues has been increasing in the last years in Portugal, mainly as a consequence of concerns related to climate change and forest fires. However, the potential environmental impacts associated with its production should be quantified to support decision-making. This quantification can be performed by using life cycle assessment (LCA), a methodology that evaluat...
Environmental impacts of forest biomass-to-energy conversion technologies: grat...
Costa, Tamíris Pacheco da; Quinteiro, Paula; Tarelho, Luís António da Cruz; Arroja, Luís; Dias, Ana CláudiaElectricity production from biomass has the potential to significantly contribute to the power mix in Portugal with lesser environmental impact than non-renewable resources. This study focuses on electricity production from the combustion of residual forest biomass from eucalypt logging activities in Portugal using life cycle assessment. In Portugal, several power plants fuelled by residual forest biomass have ...
Avaliação da fluidodinâmica e do recobrimento de grânulos de ureia em leito de ...
Costa, Tamíris Pacheco daO papel positivo dos fertilizantes foi comprovado como o fator que, isoladamente, mais contribui para o aumento da produtividade agrícola. O nitrogênio ocupa posição de destaque dentre os elementos essenciais ao desenvolvimento das espécies vegetais, fornecido geralmente através da aplicação da ureia. No entanto, o nitrogênio presente na ureia apresenta alta susceptibilidade à volatilização, que pode chegar a 8...
