A continuous process involving gasification, syngas cleaning, and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis was developed to efficiently produce synthetic aviation turbine fuels (SATFs). Oak-tree wood chips were first gasified to syngas over a commercial pilot plant downdraft gasifier. The raw wood syngas contains about 47% N(2), 21% CO, 18% H(2), 12% CO(2,) 2% CH(4) and trace amounts of impurities. A pur...

Original scientific paper Numerical simulations of four combustion processes in a dual-fuel combustor of chemically recuperated gas turbine (CRGT) were carried out in this work. The fuels in the four combustion processes were liquid fuel, liquid fuel + steam, liquid fuel + reformed gas and reformed gas, respectively. The mathematical models adopted for different fuels combustion consist of real...

 Cost-competitive with petroleum fuels  Long-term stable price for budget forecasting  Made from sustainable, renewable Biomass residuals  Storable and pumpable liquid similar to petroleum fuels  Clean burning fuel without the sulfur and particulates from petroleum fuels  Low greenhouse gas emissions Sustainability issues have become an important part of the supply chain for operati...

Fossil fuels in the transport and mobility sector can be replaced with several renewable fuels, such as renewable electricity, hydrogen and biomass-to-liquid. When these alternative fuels are used, aspects such as safeguarding supply, economic efficiency, and environmental protection must be taken into account to ensure sustainable change and to create a sustainable society. We introduce a scen...
