DE22-MixBioPells/PLTHP

Combustion of pelletized biomass to produce energy

Description

Pelletized mixed biomass are used in CHP plants to generate heat and electricity

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

in Europe small-scale combustion units (20 to 200 kW) are used almost only with high quality wood fuels, and nowadays wood is getting more scarce caused by the growing demand in material and the energetic use, alternative solid biofuels, like low quality wood, straw or olive press cake, are experiencing growing interest for energetic use.

Objective

Pelletized fuels seem to have the best chances due to their vantages like high energy density, similar physical characteristics, easy handling and efficient transportation
