9 EC FP6 call 2003.ML Relevant subjects in the 2003.ML CfP R&D of cost efficient biofuel production systems from ligno-cellulosic biomass R&D & optimisation of energy-efficient, cost-effective technologies for producing of hydrogen-rich gas from biomass

10 CHRISGAS Summary The hub of the Integrated Project (IP) is the existing, unique 18 MW biomass-fuelled pressurised air-blown gasification combined cycle CHP plant at Värnamo The Värnamo plant will be refurbished to oxygen gasification to produce a hydrogen-rich gas. This IP offers already in 2007 gasification RD&D at large scale at a lower cost than alternatives System studies related to the large-scale use of and its impact on the environment and society at large and Training activities are included in this IP

11 CHRISGAS Clean Hydrogen-rich Synthesis Gas Biomass and waste Methanol DME Gasification H2 Reforming Synthesis Gas Fischer-Tropsch Natural Gas

12 CHRISGAS Objectives To demonstrate the production of a clean hydrogen-rich synthesis gas (within a 5 year period at 18 MWth, Nm 3 /hr H 2 equivalent) based on: steam/oxygen-blown gasification of biomass hot gas cleaning (to remove particulates) steam reforming (of tar and light hydrocarbons, incl. CH 4 )
