“…Furthermore, the CFB technology principally allows for high fuel flexibility and inherent to the BIG/CC concepts low emissions to air can be obtained. Demonstration projects were launched in various countries and for various gasification concepts: in Brazil a global environment facility (GEF)/World Bank supported project was set up to demonstrate a 30 MW e Atmospheric BIG/CC unit fired with cultivated Eucalyptus (Elliott and Booth, 1993). In the same period in Sweden, the first pressurized BIG/CC unit (the BIOFLOW pilot-project), based on a pressurized gasification process has gained several thousands of hours of operational experience (Stahl, 1997).…”

Bio-energy in Europe: changing technology choices

Bio-energy is seen as one of the key options to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and substitute fossil fuels. This is certainly evident in Europe, where a kaleidoscope of activities and programs was and is executed for developing and stimulating bio-energy.Over the past 10-15 years in the European Union, heat and electricity production from biomass increased with some 2% and 9% per year, respectively, between 1990 and 2000 and biofuel production increased about eight-fold in the same period. Biomass contributed some two-thirds of the total renewable energy production in the European Union (EU) (2000 PJ) or 4% of the total energy supply in 1999. Given the targets for heat, power and biofuels, this contribution may rise to some 10% (6000 PJ) in 2010.Over time, the scale at which bio-energy is being used has increased considerably. This is true for electricity and combined heat and power plants, and how biomass markets are developing from purely regional to international markets, with increasing crossborder trade-flows. So far, national policy programs proved to be of vital importance for the success of the development of bioenergy, which led to very specific technological choices in various countries. For the future, a supra-national approach is desired: comprehensive research development, demonstration & deployment trajectories for key options as biomass integrated gasification/ combined cycle and advanced biofuel concepts, develop an international biomass market allowing for international trade and an integral policy approach for bio-energy incorporating energy, agricultural, forestry, waste and industrial policies. The Common Agricultural Policy of the (extended) EU should fully incorporate bio-energy and perennial crops in particular. r

“…Presently only the first three remain in the project. Internationally the project is conducted by BIOFLOW (Ahlstrom Corporation of Finland and Sydkraft AB of Sweden), TPS Termiska Processer (Nykoping Energy, Sigtuna Energy AB, Vaxjo Energi AB, Boras Energi, Graningeverkens AB, Sodra Skogsenergi AB, LRF-Federation of Swedish Farmer), GE Gas Turbine, and Jaakko Pöyry Consulting (Engineering in Brazil) (Elliott 1993).The objective in Brazil is to establish a high-pressure system of 30 MW in the state of Bahia operated by CHESF (WPB/Sigame). The technical details of the project will not be presented here since they are well described in the literature (Larson 1990, Williams 1988.…”

The objectives of Task 17 support the goals of member countries for bioenergy production and use. These objectives are as follows:• to stimulate the full-scale implementation of energy crops in the participating countries • to strengthen the contacts and co-operation between participating countries, scientists, biomass producers, machine developers, entrepreneurs, and end users to select the most urgent research and development areas and suggest projects of co-operation • to inform Ex-Co-members • to deliver proceedings from the meetings Task OrganizationThe Operating Agency for the Task is The Swedish National Energy Administration represented by Dr. Lars Tegnér and Dr. Björn Telenius.The Task leader is Professor Lars Christersson, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden.The country participation in Task 17 at the time of the meeting included Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Commission of European Communities (CEC). ChristerssonThe representatives of member countries were Task MeetingsThe following meetings have been held with these listed published Proceedings: AcknowledgmentsThe September 6-9, 1999, meeting of Task 17 members was hosted by Dr. David Bransby of Auburn University and organized by Wilma McNabb of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In addition to the papers and topics included in this proceedings, there were several presentations given on shortrotation crops research being performed by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Auburn University. The tours organized by Dr. Bransby included a visit to a biomass waste burning facility, a tour of a co-firing test facility, a tour of switchgrass planted on farmland in Alabama, and a tour of the Auburn Herbaceous Crops field research plots. Our thanks are expressed to Dr. David Bransby and Wilma McNabb for a well-organized and interesting set of meetings and tours. The Australian Biomass Taskforce (www.users.bigpond.com/steve.schuck/abt) was formed by a group of Federal Government organisations wishing to promote and foster a biomass energy industry in Australia. Incorporated in the Memorandum of Understanding that set up the Taskforce The role of the Biomass Taskforce in Task 17 is that of convenor and facilitator of the Australian Collaborators' Group. Purpose-grown biomass for energy and residues from shortrotation crops are seen to be important for a biomass energy future. Values that should flow from the broader adoption of biomass are increased jobs (particularly in rural areas), industry development, landcare (salinity and erosion control), provision of energy in a responsive and flexible manner, greenhouse friendly electricity and energy, and a lesser impact on the local environment. The outcomes the Biomass Taskforce wants are an increased awareness, understanding, and adoption of biomass energy in all its forms, including that from shortrotation forestry and crops. Bioenergy in the context of Australia's National Greenhouse Str...
