A realistic study of short rotation forest plantations must include all operations from land conversion to the delivery of biomass to the final conversion point. This analysis includes the primary conversion to chips or chunks and their transportation to the point of use.  4, record 1, English, - short%20rotation%20silviculture

The use of biomass as a feedstock for the production of energy and chemicals has been a popular research topic over the past decade. One of the technologies receiving a great deal of attention is liquefaction in which biomass is converted to oil under high temperatures and pressures. This technology has evolved from a slow, chemical intensive process to a very rapid operation requiring little more than water. Feeling that typical reactor residence times(1-2 hours) were excessive, Beckman developed a small unit capable of reducing heat-up times to less than three minutes. Under these conditions it was found that neither a catalyst nor reducing gas was required. A mixture of only wood and water, when rapidly heated to 350°C, yielded an oil, char and gaseous and aqueous products.  1, record 2, English, - aqueous%20pyrolysis
