"Pine"-ing "Fir" Hydrocarbons
| Division: | Sciences de la santé | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Strait | | Ville: | Antigonish, NS | | École: | St. Andrew Junior School | | Sommaire: | I studied different methods of biomass conversion – pyrolysis, gasification, and wood pellets – and performed a test of chemical extraction of hydrocarbons.
