What is it about?
This publication discusses the use of biomass for renewable energy production as a way to reduce fossil fuel consumption and their associated emissions. Various conversion methods for energy production from biomass have been discussed along with their drawbacks. The publication also focuses on the kinetics and thermochemical behavior of coal-biomass co-pyrolysis. Overall, the publication aims to contribute to the search for more sustainable energy sources.

Why is it important?
One of the unique aspects of this publication is the investigation of the use of hemp and sawdust as fuel for co-pyrolysis with coal, as opposed to using just one type of fuel. The positive synergistic effects observed during co-pyrolysis of the coal-biomass blends also make this study timely and unique. The publication also suggests that coal-sawdust blends are suitable for producing bio-oil, while coal-hemp blends are better suited for producing biochar, revealing important information about the best use of coal-biomass blends in renewable energy production. The findings of this study can contribute to more sustainable energy production practices, making it an important read for researchers and professionals involved in this field.
