Study: 100% Renewable Electricity System is the Cheapest Option for South America
Transitioning to a fully renewable electricity system is possible for South America by 2030. A study by Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. also shows that a 100 percent renewable system (100% RE) is the cheapest electricity production option and can be achieved with very little energy storage. "South America has a unique renewable energy ...

Environmental assessment of energy production by combustion of biogas provided by the anaerobic digestion of agricultural biomass
This paper tries to compare the environmental impacts of energy production using agricultural biomass and energy production using traditional reactor systems (natural gas and fuel oil) by using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. In order to make this comparison, the impact assessment methods CML 2 BASELINE 2000 (problem oriented method) and ECOINDICATOR 99 (damage oriented method) are ...

Biomass alternative fuel: co-combustion of coal explodes!
Biomass fuel blending in Europe Europe has used biomass fuels on a large scale for more than 30 years. The UK has adopted the direct-fired co-combustion route for large coal-fired power plants and has continuously increased the proportion of biomass coupling. Through policy drive, cost management and safety control, it achieved multiple 100% biomass-fired thermal power plants in 2018. ...

Biogas as an option for industrial applications
Biogas is typically burned to produce electricity or used as vehicle fuel. This case study analyses possibilities to utilise biogas directly in industrial applications to replace current fossil raw materials. True industrial cases are analysed by considering economic impacts of using either landfill gas or gas produced from biomass. Utilisation of biogas is economically viable and technically ...

Biogas embedded in the EU bioeconomy
How can the EU bioeconomy best contribute to the transition towards sustainable development and a climate-neutral economy by 2050? In April 2021, the European Commission published a report[1] presenting four scenarios for the future EU bioeconomy until 2050. One of the scenarios presented in the report is particularly encouraging for our sector as it forecasts a growth of the bio-based industry, ...

Biomass pasteurization for biogas and biomethane plants the technical advantages of BioBANG cavitation
Why is the pasteurization of biomasses becoming more and more a required practice for biogas and biomethane plants? In many countries the regulations for specific biomasses (eg: animals and vegetables organic waste, industrial and municipal slurries, etc …) require that a pasteurization treatment be carried out before they are loaded into the digesters. A particular case is given for ...
