The overall objective is to provide clear understanding and documentation on which measuring technique(-s) should be implemented in existing and future biogas reactors in order to increase
With Thorsø Biogas- & Miljøanlæg (hereafter THMB) as reference case for an assessment of the possibility of applying the existing natural gas grid for distribution of biogas will be carried out
About 20-25% of the energy used in the EU is utilised for room heating. Even a few % improvement will represent a large quantity of energy saving and CO2 reduction. Thecalculation tool implemented on
The objective of this project is by means of advanced IR as well as advanced camera techniques to increase the knowledge of oxyfuel combustion of biomass and biomass-coal mixtures. Experiments have
By 2015, the city of Frederikshavn must consume 100% renewable energy. The goal is to test an integrated energy system in which electricity, heating and transportation interact intelligently without
The CanDan1.5 project is part of the Canadian/Danish CanDan collaboration and the purpose is to: - Analyze state-of-the-art and future prospects for hydrogen & fuel cell power balancing concepts &
The project involves the final process design of a full-scale plant for continuous prodiction of second-generation bioethanol based on results from the IBUS pilot plant, where straw is the basic
The project aims to enhance current knowledge of how temperature and pressure during the production process and the water content of biomass affect pellet quality, and of the mechanical properties of
Through contacts to key players in the biofuels market, various means and policies are considered to identify the most apporpriate package solutions. The results will be used by the European
IEA task 42 identifies existing biorefineries and process potential, prepares common definitions and standards for classifying and assessing technical, financial and environmental advantages and
Methods are devised for online control of biofuel pellet quality using, for instance, mechanical durability, fine particles, pellet density and length and particle size as parameters. The new methods
The project enables Denmark to resume its activities in the IEA implementing agreement on hybrid and electric vehicle (IA-HEV), dealing with, for instance, electric cars with batteries and fuel cells
These two projects continue the publication of the eight-page news magazine Bioenergy Research with six issues a year. The magazine goes over new research results and features debate-triggering and
One of the current topics of the IEA’s cooperation on research in fuel wood chips is forecasts of fuel resources, technical production, wood fuel transport, valuation, long-term storage of decomposed
Process optimisation is performed at the MaxiFuels pilot plant at DTU in the context of, for instance, membrane distillation of ethanol, separation of the permanent residual fraction from glucose
The Castor plant’s gasification reactor is developed to gasify wood pellets instead of wood chips, and an aesthetic and technically efficient design of the plant is developed for adaptation into a
The developed CFD model shows qualitative and quantitative correlation between the model and experiments in a lab scale reactor. When the developed model was implemented in the full-scale plant, it
