Northern Ontario’s First Nations communities rely heavily on diesel energy, a fuel source with high economic and environmental costs. Thus, many communities are examining the viability of making a partial or full transition ...

Wood ash, the byproduct of bioenergy production from biomass, is typically discarded into landfills as waste. Adding ash back to soil may supply nutrients to soil that are lost through biomass harvesting, increase soil ...

The wind load on a photovoltaic system and the effects of adding a flow deflector around the panel are studied. The deflector is a reinforce measurement aiming to reduce the aerodynamic wind loads over the PV system, ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich charcoal produced from pyrolyzed biomass such as wood, agricultural waste, or animal products. Biochar is primarily used as a soil amendment, but it has promising applications in carbon sequestration, ...

Woody biomass has become an important source of renewable energy throughout the world. A major issue that has risen from the increased use of combustion technology to produce thermal energy is the large amount of waste ...

Solar energy is one of the most dependable renewable energy technologies, as it is feasible almost everywhere globally and is environmentally friendly. Photovoltaic-based renewable energy systems are highly susceptible ...

The transition towards renewable, low-carbon energy is a fundamental element of climate change mitigation. Many countries around the world have set their decarbonization strategies to reduce emissions. The European Union ...

Recently, wind power has become a reliable and cost-effective renewable energy source of electricity due to the foreseeable exhaustion of fossil fuel-based power generations and its growing adverse effects on the environment ...

The transition towards renewable energy sources is considered one of the main mitigation measures combating the effects of climate change. The use of renewable energy, particularly those derived from forest biomass, is ...
