      I am trying to use experimental data from the chemical properties of biomass and organic materials obtained through analytical chemistry for the formulation of chemical reaction models that simulate what happens during thermal conversion of this materials. Biomass composition varies from plant species to species and so we are trying to develop a tool that will be able to use information of its composition to predict accurately how the biomass behaves.
