In: Eurachem: Workshop on Quality in Analytical Measurements from Specification to Decision, Book of Abstracts, Lisbon, Portugal, 19-21 May, 2014, p. 43-44http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/2593The thermo-chemical conversion of biomass has become increasingly important, from the last decade, due to the need to reduce CO2 emissions and to increase renewable energy sources. Currently, the use of biomass already has a strong economic environmental and social impact. The biomass source can be very different where by biomass characterization is a crucial task allowing the prediction and prevention of problemas associated with biofuel burning.engBiomassSolid biofuelsAtomic absorption spectrometryQuality controlEnvironmental impactconference object
