Aims

Investigation of the technical and economic feasibility of a wood chip gasification plant with CHP (perspective SNG) generation and its integration in an overall concept of using renewable energy resources.

Measures

  • Analysis of regional demand for heating an potential technological heat consumers
  • Detection of regional biomass potentials
  • Conception of the gasification technology with a heatpipe reformer
  • Product gas cleaning and gas engine
  • Implementation of the gasifier in the regional heat supply structure
  • Technical and economical analysis of different operation options
  • Sensitivity analysis of the main influencing parameters regarding the economics of the plant
  • Reduction potential of greenhouse gases

Focus

  • Development of reliable recommendations for the design
  • Construction and operation of the demonstration plant
