Biomass IGCC at Värnamo, Sweden – Past and Future
نویسندگان
چکیده
The plant at Värnamo feeds about 6 MW electricity to the grid, as well as 9 MW heat to the district heating system in the city of Värnamo, from a total fuel input equivalent to 18 MW. The plant is an important step forward in developing highly efficient and environmentally acceptable technologies based on biomass fuels. The accumulated operating experience per 1999 amounts to about 8 500 hours of gasification runs and about 3 600 hours of operation as a fully integrated plant. The test runs have been very successful and the plant has been operated on different wood fuels as well as straw and RDF.

Logistics and pretreatment of forest biomass
In large regions of the world, biomass is a very important source of energy. The global bioenergy market based on forest biomass is growing rapidly. About 92 % of the bioenergy in Sweden comes from forests. Biomass from forests is not homogenous. The locations, transport distances, and transport methods, can differ very much and the industries that need biomass as input prefer raw materials wit...

A life-cycle assessment (LCA) of corn ethanol was conducted to determine the reduction in the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for corn ethanol compared to gasoline by integrating biomass fuels to replace fossil fuels (natural gas and grid electricity) in a U.S. Midwest dry-grind corn ethanol plant producing 0.19 hm y 1 of denatured ethanol. The biomass fuels studied are corn stover an...
