Abstract

Abstract:

In the context of fully responding to the call of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality"， it is necessary to study the utilization and storage of biomass，a typical type of renewable energy. At present， the research method on direct storage of biomass raw materials are mainly made based on the methods for studying composting， food storage and straw silage technologies，and insufficient attention was paid to the greenhouse gas emissions from biomass storage. Biomass storage can make up the gap between raw material harvesting， supply and demand. The mechanisms of biomass storage，self-heating and dry matter loss are expounded，and biomass storage technology is compared with other storage technologies，such as composting， anaerobic digestion and briquette fuels storage. Then，mechanisms of greenhouse gas production from biomass storage and new approaches to reduce dry matter losses are proposed. Investment in the development of new biomass storage methods will improve storage efficiency and provide a basis for green and efficient storage of biomass raw materials.

Key words: dual carbon target, biomass, storage, dry matter loss, degradation, greenhouse gases emission
