Objective
THE AIM OF THE STUDY IS TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES AS TO :
- PRIORITIES IN PROJECT MONITORING
- ANALYSIS OF EXISTING PROJECTS
- EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS
- IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
- POLICY PRIORITIES IN ALTERNATIVE BIOMASS UTILIZATION ROUTES.
1. PRICE UNCERTAINTIES OF OIL AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PROBLEMS HAVE LED TO INCREASED INTEREST IN ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR HEAT AND POWER GENERATION. SOLID FUELS (COAL, BIOMASS) ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO USE AS OIL AND GAS, TO WHICH USERS HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED. THEREFORE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 70'S, CONVERSION OF SOLID FUELS INTO GASEOUS ENERGY CARRIERS BY MEANS OF THERMO-CHEMICAL GASIFICATION WAS IDENTIFIED AS AN INTERESTING OPTION AND RECEIVED RENEWED ATTENTION. THE STUDY WILL RESTRICT ITSELF TO BIOMASS GASIFICATION AND WILL CONSIDER OTHER CONVERSION ROUTES ONLY FOR PURPOSES OF COMPARISON.
2. BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE CONSIDERATION, IN THE EEC AS WELL AS IN MANY PLACES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, BIOMASS GASIFICATION ACTIVITIES WERE STARTED, WHICH CAN BE ROUGHLY CLASSIFIED IN TWO CATEGORIES:
2.1 RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AIMING AT DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC VIABLE TECHNOLOGIES. THIS RESEARCH WAS PARTLY DIRECTED AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING PROCESSES, PARTLY BASED ON NEW IDEAS.
2.2 IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS AIMING AT DEMONSTRATION AND IMMEDIATE APPLICATION OF EXISTING OR "NEARLY AVAILABLE" PROCESSES.
3. FROM THE HISTORY OF THE PAST 10 YEARS IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT THERE ARE A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF FAILURES, BUT ALSO SOME SUCCESSES IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BIOMASS BASED THERMO/CHEMICAL GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES. THE REASONS FOR THOSE DIFFERENT RESULTS ARE COMPLEX AND REQUIRE CAREFULL DATA ANALYSIS. THE STUDY WILL EVALUATE RELATIVE SUCCESSES AND/OR FAILURES OF PROJECTS AGAINST THEIR PRE-SET OBJECTIVES. THIS EVALUATION WILL BE BASED ON MONITORING DATA.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
