Objective
In many European countries, lignite is of outstanding importance to power generation. As a domestic energy source, it offers long-term security of supply and guarantees economically efficient power generation in the base load range. The decrease in CO2 emissions and the preservation of resources are vital incentives to continue improving the present state-of-the-art of lignite-based power plant technology.
To achieve this, the use of a pre-drying plant for moist lignite as well as its integration into a dry lignite-fired power plant can make an important contribution with a further efficiency increase of 4 - 6 % points. For this reason, RWE Rheinbraun has been developing and successfully optimising the pre-drying process for many years.
Before their first commercial-scale application, drying as well as dry lignite combustion will have to be tested on a commercial scale. For major sub-activities of this project, financial support is requested by this Application. As competent European power plant operators and suppliers, the participants ensure project implementation geared towards the interests of industry, while representing - at the same time - potential users of this process for efficient lignite-based power generation.
