Solid fuels are extensively used in rocketry as solid propellants. [1] Solid fuels have been used throughout human history to create fire [2] and solid fuel is still in widespread use throughout the world in the present day. [3] [4] Solid fuel from biomass is regarded as a renewable energy source which can contribute to climate change ...
Coal is a solid fuel. Solid fuel refers to various types of solid material that are used as fuel to produce energy and provide heating, usually released through combustion.

It is estimated that in 1997, peat and forest fires in Indonesia released between 0.81 and 2.57 gigatonnes (0.89 and 2.83 billion short tons; 0.80 and 2.53 billion long tons) of carbon; equivalent to 13–40 percent of the amount released by global fossil fuel burning, and greater than the carbon uptake of the world's biosphere. These fires may ...
Pellet fuels (or pellets) are a type of solid fuel made from compressed organic material. [1] Pellets can be made from any one of five general categories of biomass : industrial waste and co-products, food waste , agricultural residues , energy crops , and untreated lumber . [ 2 ]
