Particulate matter dispersion at biomass energy plant using AERMOD atmospheric dispersion modelling: a case study

Biomass is included as one of the conventional sources other than solar and hydro energy. There are different types of biomass such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), fronds, mesocarp fibre (MF), trunk and shell. Each type provides a different level of particulate matter. The particulate matter had already...
