Project description
Innovative multi-fuel biomass rotating burner
A whopping 80 % of the total energy consumed by the food and beverages processing sector derives from fossil fuels. Energy alternatives with high-efficiency performance, reducing fossil fuels dependency, incorporating business models to the circular economy approach, and reducing operational costs are needed. Current solutions are mainly based on grate-fired boilers – the oldest method used for direct combustion of solid fuels. But this method scores low in terms of efficiency and high on emissions. The EU-funded BioBur project will accelerate the commercialisation of a multi-fuel biomass rotating burner (BioBuR) with high efficiency (up to 98 %), highly compact (50 % reduction in size) and economical (up to 75 % price reduction) when comparing with the grate-fired solution.
