Pre-normative research on solid biofuels for improved European standards

Cel

To develop the market for solid biofuels within the EU standards are urgently needed. Based on a mandate given by the EC, CEN TC 335 "Solid Biofuels" currently develops such standards based on the available knowledge. In the meantime several Technical Specifications (TS) (or pre-standards) are available. They have to be upgraded to European Standards (EN) within the next 3 years. Other TS's are on its way. But applications in industry have shown that additional information has to be integrated and/or considerable gaps in knowledge still exist. This makes it difficult to develop the still missing TS's and/or to upgrade the TS's to EN's.

Against that background the goal of the BioNorm II project is it to support the ongoing standardi­sation efforts especially for the development of improved solid biofuel specifications concerning - specifications given by the combustion unit, and - rules for conformity of the products with their specified requirements.

To achieve this, the following aspects will be addressed within this project in detail:
- development of sampling and sample reduction methods for further materials as well as sampling plans,
- improvement of existing reference test methods,
- development of new reference test methods,
- development of rapid on-site test methods,
- development of improved quality measures especially adapted to solid biofuels.

Additionally the results of this pre-normative work will be transferred directly into the ongoing standardisation process to allow for the development of improved EN's and acceptable TS's.
