Review of a Chair on “thermodynamics for biomass fuels” 

Unlike hydrocarbons of fossil origin, the molecules derived from biomass are polar, due to the heteroatoms they contain. This difference on a molecular scale induces a more complex macroscopic behavior that must be taken into account when designing the processes where such mixtures are encountered.
