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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
