商品描述

The book deepens understanding of biomass sources and technologies used for cooking worldwide. It contributes directly to the creation of policies aimed at the mitigation of climate change.

Historically, wood is considered humanity's first source of energy. Even after decades of use and industrialization processes, it is still considered the most important single source of renewable energy. About a third of the world's population is energetically dependent on wood for cooking and/or heating. Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic made it impossible to purchase fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), forcing families in financial difficulties to opt for cheaper and more accessible sources of energy, such as wood and vegetable coal. This has been the picture of many families around the world and negatively impacts the environment and energy security. Considering that there are still many wood residues that are wasted and that tropical forests need to be conserved, knowledge aboutthe energy use of wood residues is also essential. This is even more relevant when considering the significant volume of biomass coming from the sustainable management of the largest tropical forest in the world, the Amazon Forest.

The book considers which wood variables should be taken into account when thinking about energy generation, how do food cooking technologies contribute to potentiating pollutants emissions, and how can these harmful effects be mitigated. It describes the chemical composition of biomass and the chemical compounds released during its burning, as well as their impacts on the environment and human health. It also presents the influence that technologies used in food cooking have on pollutant emissions and which alternatives can be used, such as the use of solar energy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書加深了對全球烹飪所使用的生物質來源和技術的理解。它直接促進了旨在減緩氣候變化的政策制定。

歷史上，木材被認為是人類的第一個能源來源。即使經過數十年的使用和工業化過程，木材仍然被視為最重要的單一可再生能源來源。全球約三分之一的人口在烹飪和/或取暖上依賴木材。最近，Covid-19疫情使得購買液化石油氣（LPG）等燃料變得不可能，迫使經濟困難的家庭選擇更便宜且更易獲得的能源來源，如木材和植物煤。這已成為全球許多家庭的現狀，並對環境和能源安全產生了負面影響。考慮到仍有許多木材殘渣被浪費，以及熱帶森林需要被保護，了解木材殘渣的能源利用也變得至關重要。當考慮到來自世界上最大熱帶森林——亞馬遜森林的可持續管理所產生的生物質的巨大體積時，這一點尤為重要。

本書考慮了在思考能源生成時應考慮哪些木材變數，烹飪技術如何促進污染物排放，以及如何減輕這些有害影響。它描述了生物質的化學成分及其燃燒過程中釋放的化學化合物，以及這些對環境和人類健康的影響。它還介紹了烹飪技術對污染物排放的影響，以及可以使用的替代方案，例如利用太陽能。
