Development of co-firing power generation market opportunities to enhance the EU biomass sector through international cooperation with China

Objective

The overall objective of the proposed specific support action is to determine and establish the basis by which the EU biomass industrial companies might enter the co-firing power generation market in China, which offers very significant potential. This can underpin their sustainability at a time when market prospects in Europe are limited, while also offering the prospect of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) opportunities for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. A well-established consortium, comprising EU and Chinese organisations, will work together to gather data on the sources and availability of biomass/biogenic wastes in China; will determine various concepts for the co-firing of such renewable energy materials with coal in the various types of Chinese coal fired plants; will carry out techno-economic, socio-economic and environmental assessments of these concepts.
