Main tasks attributed in the project
ECN will join this project primarily as technical expert on thermochemical biomass upgrading and the use of -derived fuels within coal-designed power generation infrastructure. ECN will first conduct experiments in the Lab-scale Combustion Simulator and the corresponding lab-scale analyses for the characterization of the feedstocks and fuels envisaged for the use in the combined demonstration plant. This will be done in order to assess and limit the risks associated with the use of the envisaged fuel (to be delivered by the pilotscale ARBAFLAME Grasmo plant. This information will then feed into the design and engineering of the demonstration plant at ENGIE Rotterdam site. After the demonstration plant starts operation ECN will lead the analytical effort covering the whole utilization chain (WP5) in order to optimise the combined operations. These on-site measurement campaigns will specifically target feedstock, intermediates and fuel handling, in-boiler performance and in-stack emissions measurements. Data obtained in this way will be used for an integral technical, economic and environmental impact evaluation of the demo plant, towards further market penetration.
