Biodegradable Binder from Natural Resources for Biomass Densification

In the world today, it is generally acknowledged that the combustion of fossil fuels is the major source of anthropogenic degradation of the environment. Therefore, it is vital that biomass from plants to be used as an alternative renewable and carbon-neutral raw material for the production of energ...
