Duden, A.S. (author), Verweij, P.A. (author), Faaij, A.P.C. (author), Abt, R.C. (author), Junginger, M. (author), van der Hilst, F. (author)Whether the use of industrial wood pellets for bioenergy is part of the problem of climate change or part of the solution to climate change has been heavily debated in the academic and political arena. The uncertainty around this topic is impeded by contradicting scientific assessments of carbon impacts of wood pellet use. Spatially explicit...article 2023

Fleming, J. (author), Rousseau, C.W. (author), Zebregs, M. (author), van Driel, C.A. (author)Extruded double-base (EDB) charges are used mainly due to their efflux having minimum smoke, attractive oxygen balance, and low corrosivity. The propellant class also has desirable burn-rate characteristics since it exhibits plateau burning and has a low temperature sensitivity to burning rate (πk). External ballistic modeling results are...article 2022
