The aim of the project is to develop an economic, efficient and reliable total power/heat generation system using a fully automotive biomass fixed bed gasifier fuelled by standardised gasifier fuel (SGF) in combination with an engine/generator set in a commercial operating range of 100-2000kW.
This project has increased the state of the art of gasification systems and has identified the next "steps" in the evolving gasification business. All deliverables have been covered. With the realisation of at least one demonstration plant the project outcome moved beyond its goal. Moreover, several additional activities were conducted to fulfil the objectives successfully, including:
-Four duration tests.
-Construction of a 150kW gasifier.
-Interactive multimedia model on Internet.
-Wastewater treatment tests.
-Development of a uniform test protocol.
Several spin-off activities were initiated based on this project that resulted in at least four project proposals while several others are under preparation. This report has identified the different exploitable results; the different routes for exploitation and the different sources if funding that will be accessed. Even as we write this report several of the results are being exploited in accordance with the plan.
