Based on recent interest and the importance of ongoing climate change catastrophe, this article provides basics global carbon cycle modelling as required for assessment degree neutrality biomass energy, its underlying dynamics. It is aimed at clarifying question “Are fuels neutral?”.

When comparing CEBM model runs using (i) sources (ii) carbon-free (such solar or wind), it becomes quantitatively clear already theoretical level (i.e., even without taking into account efficiency losses) that only “half neutral” ideally assumed, to express a rule thumb—mainly because depletion. Still, will play an important role when fighting warming, if efforts lower demand are preferable fundamental strategy.

CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels represent largest anthropogenic disruption natural global carbon cycle and lead to an undesirable increase in atmospheric levels. The so-called "carbon-neutral" renewable energy source biomass appears be a promising replacement for fuels. "Combined Energy Biosphere Model" (CEBM), was developed as method calculating content after intensive use biomass. It includes (i) biosphere part computing annual on 2,433 grid elements covering continents’ plant mass soil, well (ii) economic 119 countries. As history understanding (including quantification growth decay by formulae, inclusion deforestation, fuel fertilizer effect) shows, such model (as CEBM) provides needed methodology assess net effects large-scale plant’s atmosphere. Results show that (in systemic view) is “only half neutral” previously thought, even principal level. conclusions indicate (even if valuable mitigation strategy) its potential limited. When interpreting CEBM scenarios, very first priority, reducing current demand most highly preserving climate.

Abstract The radiant syngas cooler (RSC) has the potential to significantly enhance energy efficiency as a critical heat recovery device in entrained‐flow coal gasification technology. dimensions of RSC have direct impact on flow and transfer processes. In this study, an analysis was conducted evaluate transfer, ash deposition, thermal structural deformation characteristics based fluid‐thermal‐structure interaction method RSC. simulation results exhibit high degree correlation with industrial data. indicate that increase length‐diameter ratios decreases area recirculation zone. Ash deposition thickness increases length–diameter ratios. A maximum 15.2 mm while ratio is 9. effect amplified transfer. top bottom structures observed without decreasing deposition. For optimized structure, inlet temperature load corresponding layer thickness, limited. current can serve reference for integral optimal design
