Abstract:
Risorse Nuove srl and Green adVentures srl have been constituted in the recent years to disseminate and continuously implement innovative technologies based on slow pyrolysis process. It is possible to overcome the virgin and residual biomass criticalities for the use as "energy renewable source" through the transformation of biomass into valuable by-products: gaseous, liquid and solid. To this aim : the gas must possibly be composed only by H2 and CO, without impurities and tars; the liquid (tar or oil) must be certified with the same characteristics of a fossil fuel; the solid (char i.e.) must exhibit better characteristics and performances than a fossil coal. The innovative technologies can allow to reach the ambitious goal to obtain the targeted by-products from practically all kind of biomasses. The investigation of application of the by-products, not only in the energy production field, but also in metallurgical field (Frac-EU Programme) or automotive field (Italian National R&D "Industria 2015" Programme) or chemical field ( POR FESR 2007-2013 Italy), seems to allow interesting by-products final prices, which can sustain the costs of all the transformation chain. The combination of technologies provided by Risorse Nuove and Green adventures allows to recover residual biomasses and wastes as valuable bio-products. Solid residual wet biomass, recovered vegetable oil from cooking, olive milling residues are only some of raw materials used as input in a demonstrative, industrial scale, bio-refinery located in Terni (I), under completion and able to produce : char for metallurgical purposes; biodiesel from catalytic pyrolysis conversion and very pure syngas, from combined pyrolysis and plasma process.
