Insights in quantitative indexes for better grouping and classification of Eucalyptus clones used in combustion and energy cogeneration processes in Brazil

The influence of the lignin macromolecule composition, extractives, volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC) contents on the reactivity and easiness of wood combustion is not fully understood, especially concerning species from fast-growing plantations. This study aims to close this scientific gap revealing the wood chemical composition effects on the combustibility of Eucalyptus clones. Moreover, we proposed new quantitative indexes that...
