Cotton biomass energy recovery

Objetivo



COBER (COtton Biomass Energy Recovery) intends to join the R & D efforts of some European companies and research institutes, in order to contribute to the feasibility study of a biomass residue based, power generation system, focusing its work on the cogeneration technology. This main objective is fully consistent with the overall objective of JOULE III Third Call for proposals (Jan-97, paragraphs 3.5.A.1 3.5.A.4 and 3.5.A.5).


Within this frame, the present feasibility study is going to demonstrate on an economics and technical point of view, the potentiality of the energy production from the agricultural residues of cotton plants in South Europe. Other objectives of the COBER project are:

- the qualification of innovative reverse logistics processes, systems and technologies of wide applications in line with agricultural and industrial production.

- the Pilot implementation of efficient and clean combustion technology, certified for cotton biomass burning procedure.

- the feasibility study for a wide commercial exploitation of the produced heat.

The main expected output of the project will be the feasibility study of a power generation system of 20 MWe based on cotton biomass residues of South Europe. The evaluation will utilize published information, existing test facilities and process simulation tools to address to:

- The minimisation of fuel consumption of the end-user for energy production using advanced cogeneration techniques.

- The optimisation of the overall efficiency of electricity production.
- The suitability of available cotton biomass feed stocks for advanced burning processes.

- The improvement of life quality with the utilisation of new technologies of commercial exploitation of the produced heat like teleheating etc.
- The provision of design principles for the limitation of harmful emissions.
- The possibility of reduction by 70% of parasite sources in the cotton plantations.

- The examination of the creation of new jobs in an economically less favourised area during a " dead ii period for the peasant's life.
The scope of application of COBER results, concerns the South European mid-sized companies which are related to cotton production and elaboration. However, it is expected that approximately two years of additional tests of robustness and performance will be needed to make this feasibility study reliable in order to guarantee its acceptance by the people.
