Abstract

Knowledge of biomass properties and/or fuel characteristics is the basis for bioenergy or chemical conversion processes. Biomass properties are variable and associated with plant species and assortments, therefore, identifying the associations will be important for understanding mechanisms behind the variations and for improvements in predicting biofuel characteristics and management of sustainable feedstock production. A data synthesis was carried out based on data of energy properties including contents of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and ash (A) (CHONSA) in variable biomass species and assortments. Data were collected from 260 peer-reviewed literatures and composed of 742 data objects of more than 144 species.
