2 Content Biomass gasification in Norway Biomass gasification Lab: New entrained flow Summary 2

3 Biomass gasification in Norway Norway has large unused biomass ressources Still no economic advantages or incentives for biomass gasification in Norway: Fundamental research at Universities Applied research No large scale gasification facilities Small scale waste-to-energy applications Some interested larger companies : Statkraft Akershus Energi Avinor (BioJet-A1) 3

4 Small scale applications In Norway both the people and the biomass are spread The distances are large, hence high transportation costs Small scale applications Energos Agder Biocom Energos plant Both use two-step (gasification-combustion) technology for heat production 4

5 Biomass gasification in Norway So far 2014 has been a busy year for project applications: An application has been sent to EEA (European Economics Area) grant with Romania (not a gasification project) EU projects Leader of one initiative within HTL Partner in another (gasification) In the process of applying for new competence building projects (deadline September 2014) The bioenergy group will apply for 4 projects One application will focus on gasification of biomass for liquid fuel production for the aviation industry 5

6 Biomass gasification Lab: SINTEF Energy Research 6

7 Bench-scale reactors for biomass reactivity and yield measurements STA instrument (simultaneous thermal analyzer) Temperature range: RT up to 1100 C Vacuum: 10E-4mbar Heating rate: 0.1 up to 20 C/min Temperature resolution: ± 0.1 C Temperature accuracy: ± 0.3 C (substance calibration) Data evaluation rate: max. 10/s Pressure control: up to 50 Bar (adjustable, software controlled) Atmosphere: inert, red., vac., oxid. ( SiC heater) 7

8 New entrained flow reactor Current specification and purpose Maximum fuel flow rate: 2 kg/h Maximum number of operators : 2 Pressure: min 10 bar(g) Wall heater temperature: min 1500 ⁰C Fuel particle size distribution: As large as possible Continues operating time: 6 h The reactor should be us ed to; Study if a fuel is suitable for gasification Study soot and tar formation from gasified biomass Provide validation data to numerical models 8
