IEA bioenergy agreement task: Biomass combustion and co-firing. Danish representation in the years 2004 and 2005

Through Danish participation in the group the country gains access to high level knowledge on the latest technology and markets developments as well as Rand D activities and results.

Project description

The purpose of the project is to link an active Danish participation in 2004 and 2005 in the Biomass Combustion task group (task 32) under the IEA Bioenergy Agreement. Through participation in this highly qualified international network the Danish industries and market actors gain access to the latest important developments in technology, legislation etc. on biomass combustion. Significant factors in Task 32 are industrial participation, the interaction betaveen IEA activities and the interaction with the European Union. Enhancement of the industrial participation can be realised by formulating joint projects between participating members and industry. The emphasis of the activities in the Task is on market introduction for expanding the use of Biomass Combustion at a short term and on optimization of biomass combustion technology to remain competitive at a longer term. Task 32 is closely related to other IEA Bioenergy activities, especially to activities in the feld of Biomass Gasification and Techno-economic Analysis. The main focus areas for the task group in the coming period are: Technologies: 1) Biomass combustion (small-scale systems and CHP). 2) Co-firing biomass in existing coal fired boilers. Technical issues: 1) Increasing fuel flexibility, including contaminated biomass and biomass pellets. 2) Advanced process control and sensor development. 3) Corrosion and deposit formation mechanisms. 4) Formation and emission of particulates (aerosols) and primary measures for NOx reduction. 5) Improvement of existing systems and development of new concepts

Results

The project covers international co-operation in the Task 32 group organised under the IEA Bioenergy Agreement. Through Danish participation in the group the country gains access to high level knowledge on the latest technology and markets developments as well as Rand D activities and results. This know-how is important for authorities and companies active in the biomass energy business in Denmark. During the project period the group has organised 5 meetings and 5 international workshops covering the following topics: 1) Public perception of biomass co-firing. 2) Small scale combustion devices. 3) Modelling biomass grate furnaces. 4) Fuel flexibility. 5) Ash Deposition and Corrosion. Information from the group activities has been disseminated to the Danish target audience through mailings by ordinary mail and e-mail
