Abstract

The exergy characteristics of 60 woody biomass are investigated in this study. These include the moisture-related exergy, S-related exergy, ash-related exergy, and LHV (lower heating value)-related exergy. The results obtained from this study show that the moisture-related exergy, S-related exergy, ash-related exergy, and LHV-related exergy are in the ranges of 0–1,757.52, 0–30.28, 1.46–314.93, and 6,204.83–25,759.04 kJ/kg, respectively. The exergy values of woody biomass are in the range of 7,966.35–25,901.79 kJ/kg, and they are most contributed by LHV (77.89–99.97%), followed by moisture content (0–22.06%), ash content (0.01–1.94%), and S content (0–0.18%).
