Decarbonization of the energy sector is a necessary but long-term process. It includes at least partial substitution fossil fuels using renewable and alternative fuels. However, this substitution, apart from not always being possible, often accompanied by limitations unknowns. Those unknowns are dominantly related to possibility establishing stable, highly efficient low-waste combustion ...

The purpose of this study was to characterize leaf photosynthetic and stomatal responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants grown under two N-nutritional regimes. High- and low-N regimes were imposed on growth-chamber-grown plants by fertilizing with nutrient solutions containing 12 or 1 millimolar nitrogen, respectively. Gas-exchange measurements indicated not only greater photosynthetic c...

Fuel and emission characteristics of co-products of the ethanol dry-grind process [distillers wet grains (DWG), concentrated distillers solubles (referred to as “syrup”), and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS)], and corn stover are evaluated. Biomass co-products from the dry-grind ethanol production process, particularly DDGS, are good sources for the electrical and thermal energy nee...
