SkyClean
The SkyClean technology combines biofuel production and carbon capture and storage. It is an integrated solution to three major climate change challenges on a global scale: reducing greenhouse emissions from agriculture, carbon storage, carbon-neutral fuels for transportation.
The core of SkyClean is a pyrolysis process where organic waste from agriculture and forestry is converted to biochar, gas, and biooil by heating it to a high temperature in an oxygen free environment.
The goal is to advance the SkyClean technology to TRL 7 (technology Readiness Level) and de-risk the technology sufficiently to make the final investment decision for the first full scale plant. This is achieved though development, test, and optimization of the SkyClean system on the existing 0,2 MW pilot plant at DTU and a 2 MW process demonstration plant at GreenLab. Based on this, the project will identify the optimal design and operation of a 2 MW industrial demonstration plant which continuously will produce biochar, biooil and industrial heat in an industrial setting. This plant will be produced and be in operation for 2000 full load hours.
Catalytic biooil upgrading will be tested and optimized in pilot plants at DTU and at Haldor Topsøe. Concurrently the use of raw biooil as burner-fuel will be tested at Ørsted in an industrial setup. The potential for upgrading of syngas to bio-methane will be investigated by DGC and DTU.
The SkyClean technology will be commercialized by Stiesdal Fuel Technologies.
