An evaluation of biomass co-firing in Europe

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2010
Abstract Reduction of the emissions of greenhouses gases, increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the energy balance, increasing electricity production from renewable energy sources and decreasing energy dependency represent the main goals of all current strategies in Europe.

Numerical Modeling of Coal/Biomass Co-Firing

Volume 1: Symposia, Parts A and B, 2008
Biomass co-firing within existing infrastructure of pulverized coal utility boilers is viewed as a practical near-term means of encouraging renewable energy while minimizing capital requirements, maintaining the high efficiency of pulverized coal boilers and reducing the emissions.

Burn biomass burn [co-fired biomass for electricity generation]

Power Engineer, 2004
The UK government expects biomass to play a large role in switching part of the country's power generation to renewable sources. The definition of biomass in the Renewables Obligation is wide: it is a substance of which 98% has been derived directly or indirectly from plant or animal matter.

Biomass co-firing

2013
Co-firing biomass with fossil fuels in existing power plants is an attractive option for significantly increasing renewable energy resource utilization and reducing CO2 emissions. This chapter mainly discusses three direct co-firing technologies: pulverized-fuel (PF) boilers, fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) systems, and grate-firing systems, which are ...

Biomass development and waste wood co-firing

Energy Conversion and Management, 1997
Abstract Waste wood fuels have been co-fired with coal for a number of years. Many utilities and industries have experimented in the development of this alternative fuel for a host of reasons. Utilities are facing major changes in the future and industries are continuously looking for ways to help the bottom line. Waste wood fuel can lower production

Studies on characteristics of biomass co-firing ash

2010 The 2nd Conference on Environmental Science and Information Application Technology, 2010
Cornstalk and coal were used for co-combusting experiment. The ash samples were measured by certain instruments to obtain some physical characteristics such as ash specific resistance (R), adhesive force, and chemical composition. The results showed that the R of both pure biomass ash and co-firing ash ranged from 108–1011 (Ω·cm).

Gasification: Eliminating Risks Associated With Co-Firing Biomass

ASME 2010 Power Conference, 2010
Under certain greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation scenarios, older coal-fired units may be faced with the prospect of shutdown before reaching the end of their useful life. Repurposing this existing asset for 100% biomass fuel is a more efficient use of capital than compared to building a new stand-alone unit.

Biomass Co-Firing in Suspension-Fired Power Plants

2008
The objective of the project is to investigate critical issues associated with cofiring with low-NOx burners and cofiring in advanced suspension-fired plants with for example high-temperature steam cycles. Experience has been gained using biofuels for cofiring in older power plant units.

Biomass co-firing potentials for electricity generation in Poland—Matching supply and co-firing opportunities

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2008
As part of the European Union (EU) accession treaty, Poland is obliged to increase the share of renewable electricity production to 7.5% by 2010 (from a present share of about 2% in 2002). Most of this increase is expected to be covered by biomass-based electricity generation.
