Key Deliverables
The combustion model that is being developed by members of this task is currently used by research groups of several countries to develop new pilot plant concepts and new commercial boilers. Therefore, any improvement or new addition to the model has a real impact on the biomass combustion systems that are under development, and that has to face the challenge of a much cleaner biomass combustion.
Activities
- Design optimization of solid fuels combustion systems.
- Modeling and experimental characterization of subprocesses involved in the thermochemical conversion of solid fuels.
- Development of process monitoring techniques.
Policy Relevance
Solid fuel conversion technologies allow the use of local biomass, reducing waste and providing environmental-friendly energy to buldings and industries, as well as to isolated communities. These conversion technologies need to improve their flexibility regarding biomass use and increase efficiency, while reducing emissions and costs.
