Abstract:

This work aims at identifying new potential fuels for a near future Danish CHP system encompassing pretreatment of marginal biomass resources by Pyroneer gasification for subsequent conversion in existing coal­fired boilers. The focus of the work is on finding and characterizing new marginal biomass resources and includes various wastes and residues from industry and agriculture (e.g. waste water sludge, manure fibers, lignin residues etc.). The technical assessment is conducted by comparing the results from a series of physical­mechanical and thermochemical experiments to a set of well­known references. This assessment is supplemented by an overall evaluation of several practical issues. The results from the work will be used to build a catalogue of potential new marginal fuels for Pyroneer gasification systems. From this catalogue, promising candidates can be selected for detailed analysis.
