Bio-energy chains from perennial crops in South Europe

Description: Das Projekt "Bio-energy chains from perennial crops in South Europe" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität Graz, Institut für Prozess- und Partikeltechnik durchgeführt. The overall objective of this project is to define and evaluate complete bioenergy chains from biomass crop production to thermochemical conversion for production of energy specially suitable for southern Europe. The complete chains will be evaluated regarded technical, environmental and economic aspects in order to identify the most promising combinations of biomass resources and technologies. In order to fulfil these objectives four perennial energy crops (Cardoon, Giant reed, Miscanthus and Switch Grass) have been carefully selected, which, due to their different seasonal harvest times, can provide an-all-year around availability of raw material for a subsequent energy production (combustion, gasification or fast pyrolysis). The work in the project is divided into three main phases: The four selected biomass crops will be cultivated in large fields in representative agricultural regions in Greece, Spain, France and Italy and subsequently harvested. Field measurements from these test fields will be used for the technical, economic and environmental analyses in the following work packages. Each crop will be fully characterised and subjected to a comprehensive test programme of combustion, gasification and fast pyrolysis. A report on the technical evaluation of the overall integrated bioenergy chain performance from biomass in the field to a derived heat and/or power product will be produced. An economic assessment will be carried out on the data collected from the first two phases. The overall performance from biomass in the field to a delivered energy product as heat and or power will be measured by reference to the component parts in the chain starting in the field and progressing through each stage of handling and processing to a final marketable product. An overall performance model will be derived to provide consistent comparison between different bio-energy chains. These assessments will be used to identify and prioritise the best combinations of biomass and conversion technology for each country. Work of the Institute of Chemical Engineering Fundamentals and Plant Engineering (GLVT), Graz University of Technology, within the project The role of GLVT in the project is to characterise the four specially selected fuel crops by comprehensive chemical analyses and by performing thermal conversion test runs in a laboratory-scale test reactor and in a pilot-scale combustion plant (100 kWth). During these test runs combustion characteristics such as, slagging, fouling and corrosion tendencies as well as emission potentials (NOX, SOX and particulates), of the fuels investigated, will be measured and evaluated.
