New Renewtec Report On Small Scale Biosng
Within the LignoSys project the performance of three small scale (~10 MWth) thermochemical conversion routes for lignocellulosic feedstock to biomethane have been investigated. The three thermochemical options are: Indirect gasification through the Heatpipe Reformer (HPR) PyroCatalytic Hydrogenation (PCH) Indirect gasification through the WoodRoll® process The LignoSys final report ...

Biochemical, Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass in Focus at UREM 2015, Day Two
Today (Mar 26, 2015) the Umeå Renewable Energy Meeting learned that while biomass gasification for the purpose of making fuels and chemicals would be used to produce biofuel in the Nordic countries, and preferably dimethyl ether (bioDME), countries in southern Europe might prefer to use it to produce heat. Italy and Spain were mentioned as countries where the technology might be taken into ...

Gas to become the world’s primary energy source by 2035
The development of the natural gas infrastructure and market will remove two of the main barriers for introduction of renewable methane, namely the need for infrastructure and the public awareness of using a gaseous fuel. Natural gas and renewable methane are miscible in any proportion and it’s just to inject the renewable methane into the natural gas grid to reach all customers connected ...

Bio4Energy Students Analyse Pilot Facilities in Sharpened Biorefinery Pilot Research Course
The contents of the key generic course in the Bio4Energy Graduate School, Biorefinery Pilot Research (BPR), have been made considerably sharper in terms of training students in considering each biorefinery pilot or demonstration facility in the Bio4Energy cluster as an innovation system. Or so it would seem as the second edition of BPR concluded with a final seminar where PhD student researchers ...

Fuel produced from sunlight, CO2 and water: an alternative for jet fuel?
Water and carbon dioxide (CO2) can be converted into ‘solar thermochemical fuel’ using energy from the sun and very high temperatures. A new study has analysed the production of this fuel and found that, under favourable future conditions, costs could be as little as €1.28 per litre, with close to zero life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although suitable as a substitute ...

Biorenewable chemicals: a review of technologies and feedstocks
Growing demand for biorenewable chemicals could lead to conflicts with food production and unwanted environmental impacts. Against this context, this study investigated different types of feedstock and conversion technologies. The authors recommend use of only non-edible feedstock alongside green and carbon neutral conversion technologies, such as algal fermentation. Concerns over dependence on ...
