Intelligent biomass combustion for carbon sequestration, soil improvement and environmental benefits

Research brief

  • Advanced combustion technologies for a decarbonised society, production of soluble silica, assessment of biocarbon sequestration in agricultural soils.
  • Control of rice husk combustion temperature, time and air supply to reduce calorific value and cristobalite formation
  • Reduction of PM, NOx, SOx and CO generation through flue gas treatment with catalysts, etc.

Planning basis, state of preparation

  • Continuation of research commissioned by the National Agricultural Research Organisation and joint research with private companies.
  • Field use of the farm attached to the Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kyoto University.
