Biomass allocation is an important plant trait that responds plastically to environmental heterogeneities. However, the effects on this trait of pollutants owing to human activities remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of biomass allocation of Phragmites australis to petroleum pollution by a ¹³CO₂ pulse-labelling technique. Our data show that plant biomass signifi...

The world is moving towards clean energy, especially since the Paris Agreement in 2016. Indonesia no exception, which must reach 23% of its total energy mix usage from renewable sources by 2025, as stated President Regulation No. 22/2017. Biomass a source can be used co-firing fuel for power plants based on calorific value. This study discusses some most important characteristics needed fuels, ...

The emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen and sulphur oxides for electricity generation with coal and biomass co-firing are investigated and the furnace gas temperature assessed. The study uses simulation and considers fuel combinations based on two coals (bituminous coal, lignite) and four types of biomass (rice husk, sawdust, chicken litter, refused derived fuel). With increasing biomass, ...

The technical supply potential of biomass and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are widely studied in literature. However, relatively few studies have examined role co-firing for future electricity China by integratedly considering economic GHG effects. To fill this gap, we choose Jiangsu Province as a case study build up partial equilibrium model with multiple agricultural commodit...

Effects of elevated root zone (RZ) CO(2) and air temperature on photosynthesis, productivity, nitrate (NO(3)(-)), and total reduced nitrogen (N) content in aeroponically grown lettuce plants were studied. Three weeks after transplanting, four different RZ [CO(2)] concentrations [ambient (360 ppm) and elevated concentrations of 2000, 10,000, and 50,000 ppm] were imposed on plants grown at two ai...

Predicting how increases in surface temperature will modulate the response of plants to rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations is an increasingly urgent aspect of climate change research. Plant responses to elevated CO 2 have been well documented over the last 40 years, and the mechanisms underlying these responses are well understood. Elevated CO 2 affects plants mainly by increasing photosynt...

Given the importance of climate change it is vital to find a transition away from fossil fuels. The will include electrification several sectors, for example road transport, but considering strong dependency on carbon-based fuels and associated infrastructures, reasonable assume that biomass-based hydrocarbon play key role smoothen This study provides an analysis direct indirect technological o...
