Technical applications
Low Temperatur Gasification has numerous possible applications. Several of these are: co-firing in a coal fired power plant, co-firing in a gas fired power plant, and upgrading the produced gas. The key advantages in each of these are listed below.
Coal Plant Co-firing
- High ratio of biomass to coal can be co-fired without damaging the boiler
- New types of low grade biomass can be co-fired in high efficiency power plants
- Ash separation makes it possible to utilize these separately for different purposes
Gas Plant Co-firing
New types of low grade biomass can be co-fired directly in:
Gas Upgrading
The produced gas can be utilized for the production of:
- Liquid fuels
- Substitute Natural Gas (SNG)
- Chemicals
