Leftover branches and kudzu vines from logging are repurposed as carbon-neutral fuel to generate electricity.
Dr. Kyoungseon Min’s research team at the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a technology to convert forestry and agricultural waste such as logging residues, kudzu vines, and spent mushroom substrates into solid biofuel that can be co-used as fuel for thermal power plants.
