2ND WORLD CONFERENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITION ON BIOMASS FOR ENERGY AND INDUSTRY

摘要: Biomass is one of the most promising renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels and has the unique characteristic that it is a feedstock for the production of chemicals as well as gaseous and liquid fuels. In the Dutch situation, especially natural gas and transportation fuels are important products with a total consumption of approximately 2000 PJ/year. Production of “green” substitute natural gas (SNG) and “green” transportation fuels will allow the use of the existing natural gas and transportation fuels infrastructure and, hence, make a gradual transition from the present fossil fuel-based energy supply system to a complete renewable fuel-based economy possible. Gasification of biomass generates a product gas that can be used to synthesise SNG as well as transportation fuels by methanation and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, respectively. Due to the high amount of CH4 and higher hydrocarbons, typical off …
