Combustion Behaviour of Selected Waste Wood Samples, Springer Nature, Energy Management, Volume 1: Green Transition

In Türkiye, fossil fuels have a 90% sharein total primary energy consumption, while 80% of fossil fuel consumption ismet through imports. This amount, which is a clear indicator of the externaldependence of Türkiye in terms of energy, can be reduced by utilizing localresources. Therefore, using waste wood material, one of the existing renewableenergy sources, in existing thermochemical systems would reduce the country'senergy dependence on foreign energy, and CO2 emissions, one of themost important greenhouse gases, would be reduced. The current study aims to determine how theorigin of the waste wood comes from different waste streams and how it affectsthe combustion behaviour of the wood. Five different waste wood samples fromfive different sources were analysed using TGA for combustion behaviouranalysis.
