Advanced Testing Methods for Better Real Life Performance of Biomass Room Heating Appliances (BeReal)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Existing test standards for biomass room heating appliances (pellet and firewood stoves, and inset appliances) have supported technology development tremendously in past decades. Due to today’s changing and more demanding requirements, however, there is the obvious need for refined testing procedures in order to differentiate between poor and excellent products. Such differentiation should take in ...

The European Research Infrastructure for Thermochemical Biomass Conversion (BRISK)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Enhancing biomass utilization without risking its sustainability is a European energy priority, and can be linked to targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050: enhanced energy security and integration with other industrial sectors, such as agriculture, also play a role. Improved use of biofuels and products in advanced biomass conversion units and biorefineries ar ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...

Safety and quality assurance measures along the pellets supply chain (SAFEPELLETS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Isolated incidents due to increased, toxic emissions in pellet storages have aroused great relevance and urgency on operational and customer safety in wood pellet supply chains. Reportedly two cases of death have occurred in large size vessels for ocean transportation and in harbour facilities. Another three incidents were reported in end-users´ storage rooms, the last of which resulted in the dea ...

Development of a practical and reliable ash melting test for biomass fuels, in particular for wood pellets (ASHMELT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The utilisation of renewable energy sources is a considerable contribution to the EU 2020 targets, and the utilisation of solid biomass for heat production is of great relevance in this regard. The market for solid biofuels is growing rapidly, and the demand for raw materials is increasing. Consequently it is aimed at extending the raw material basis for biofuel production covering also wooden mat ...

Thermochemical pre-treatment technology for residues from breweries and other biomass to enhance anaerobic digestion (TherChem)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The aim of the project is the development of a thermochemical pre-treatment technology to increase the gas yield of brewers spent grains during an anaerobic digestion process. Thermochemical pre-treatment will be realised in a pressure vessel by addition of sulphuric acid. Pre-treatment of organic biomass will lead to a break down of the complex lignocellulose structure and release oligomeric/mono ...

Clean Air Technology for Biomass Combustion Systems (BioCAT) (BioCAT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The BioCAT proposal aims at the development of new generation of biomass based room heating appliances. The EU climate and energy strategy for 2020 obviously relies on a significant increase of biomass share in household energy production. In addition new building standards lead to a decrease in heat consumption of households and consequently to a decrease of the nominal power of heating appliance ...
