Small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) from bio-crude oil fuelled to a stirling engine

Objectif



OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The main objectives of this project include:

- the development of feedstock logistics for BCO production via fast pyrolysis - the scale-up potential of biomass fast pyrolysis will be clearly deducted - the production of BCO for fuelling a Stirling engine for CHP generation - the development of a suitable burner to fuel BCO and further adaptations in an existing Stirling engine
- the techno-economics of the technology including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) the market studies for the penetration of both fast pyrolysis technology and end-use applications of BCO.

TECHNICAL APPROACH

Renewable energies, and in particular biomass, are among the most suitable options to gradually replace conventional energy sources and stabilise CO2 emissions related to electricity and heat generation. A liquid fuel derived from solid biomass by fast pyrolysis (Bio-Crude-Oil or BCO), will be of great interest for the fuelling of efficient, in the small-scale (<150 kWe) engines for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production. The project will consist of 6 main tasks, namely:

Task 0: Project co-ordination
Task 1: Production, characterisation and supply of feedstock for BCO Task 2: Production and characterisation of BCO
Task 3: Fast pyrolysis scale-up potential
Task 4: Usage of BCO in a Stirling engine for electricity production, performance and emissions
Task 5: Assessment of techno-economics including LCA and market studies


EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

It is expected that immediately after the end of this project, pilot plants can be safely designed for different suitable sites in Europe for demonstration and market introduction. The consortium comprises well experienced partners from applied research and technological promotion, education, industry as well as an international organisations which serves an overall EU policy. Hence, the expected achievements of the project will result in the following industrial benefits:
- the production and logistics of suitable feedstocks will be optimised - the production of the BCO will be technically proven and
- the scale-up potential of the fast pyrolysis technology will be duly investigated
- the combustion of BCO in the burner of a Stirling engine for CHP production will be mastered
- the emissions of (NOX, SOx and particulates) will be minimised in accordance with EU requirements
- the economics of the entire process from energy crop to CHP will be analysed and evaluated
- the market studies for the fast pyrolysis technology end end-use applications will be carried out.

As the overall objective of this project is the preparation of the BCO production
technology for industrial market introduction, the partners involved in the project will take an immediate and direct advantage of the results. Moreover, expected technical success and economic potential will raise demand for fast pyrolysis technology, its utilisation in efficient CHP production and its extensive deployment in small-scale operation.
