2 ECN development targets 2 Heat and Power Bio-SNG (Green Natural Gas) Transportation Fuels and chemicals

3 Content OLGA for electricity production Duration test results with Pilot installation at ECN First results of the DEMO installation in France OLGA for Bio-SNG production (green natural gas) Motivation for ECN to work on bio-sng Duration test results with Lab installation at ECN 3

4 OLGA for electricity production

5 Motivation for OLGA Avoid tar related problems. Fouling of equipment (SNG & E) Deactivation of catalyst with soot (SNG) Wastewater production (E) 5

6 OLGA Technology (Oil gas scrubber) Tar Condensation Fines removal Tar Absorption Oil stripper Dust Liquid tar unrecovered oil tar/oil/dust separation COL W-ESP ABS STR Tar and dust free product gas Tar loaded stripper air unrecovered oil DUST LOADED PRODUCT GAS Make up oil STRIPPER AIR 6

13 Demo OLGA Installation Project details Location: Moissannes in France Eneria is engine supplier and plant operator Dahlman is OLGA supplier ECN delivered design data for the plant and assists during start-up and operation. Key process data Feedstock: Saw dust and Wine residue 4 MWth Fixed bed gasifier 1,1 MWe gas engine 2000 m n3 /h of gas OLGA removes fine dust + tar 13

15 OLGA Performance Complete heavy tar removal Complete removal of phenol mg/m n 3 of light tar condensable improves in time Dust below detection limit No fouling of piping or gas engine Stable and fully automated operation 15

16 OLGA for bio-sng production

17 Motivation for bio-sng in NL electricity import nuclear 2% 1% rest 2% coal 11% oil 36% natural gas 48% (20% products from NG) Transportation NG fuels 19% 16% electricity 29% Heat 36% transportation fuels 19% NG Electricity heat 29% 36% (80% from NG) Products (40% from 16% NG) NG Primary energy source Energy products 17

18 Biomass to bio-sng biomass import SNG plant NL does not have sufficient biomass biomass import is necessary biomass will be expensive (plus ~3 /GJ) biomass will probably be wood biomass will be available at only few locations (harbours) Consequence: large-scale and high efficient Gasification biomass SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) 18
