Abstract:
Renewable syngas from biomass, or ?biosyngas? will be an important
intermediary in the future energy infrastructure for the production
of renewable electricity, gaseous energy carriers, transportation fuels,
and chemicals. A large total installed biosyngas production capacity
with large individual plants is required to meet the ambitious renewable
energy targets. The overall objective of the research and development
trajectory is to develop the technology for dedicated biomass-fired
entrained flow gasification systems for reliable, high-efficient, and
cost-effective production of biosyngas from multiple biomass streams.
The technology should be proven in a full-scale (>100 MWth)
demonstration plant. Starting point of the phased research and development
trajectory is the existing coal-based gasification technology. To bridge
the gap between existing and proven technology for coal and the implementation
of biomass-fired entrained flow gasifiers, a research and development
trajectory is necessary with focus on four interrelated themes: (i)
Biomass pretreatment & feeding; (ii) Gasification & burner design;
(iii) Ash and slag behaviour; and (iv) Hot gas treatment (cooling, cleaning,
and conditioning).
