Abstract
The Seminar on Power Production from Biomass II with
special emphasis on
gasification and pyrolysis R&DD, was organized by VTT
Energy on 27 - 28
March 1995 in Espoo, Finland. All seminar speakers were
invited in order to
give a high-level overview of the achievements of biomass
com-bustion,
gasification and flash pyrolysis technologies. The
sessions included
presentations by all key industrial entrepeneurs in the
field. The poster
session was open to all groups interested.
Globally bioenergy covers about 3 % of the primary energy
consumption.
Locally it has a significant role in many countries like
in Finland, where
bioenergy covers almost 15 % and peat 5 % of primary
energy consumption.
Today's cost-effective heat and power production is based
on industrial
wood residues and spent cooking liquors in relatively
large industrial
units or municipal heating and power stations.
Agricultural residues like
straw and especially energy crops are becoming more
interesting in
co-utilization with other biomasses or fossil fuels.
The seminar succesfully displayed the status of present
technologies as
well as development targets for new gasification and
flash pyrolysis
technologies in the coming years.The many industrial
participants showed
that there are growing business possibilities in many
countries all over
the world.
The proceedings include the most oral presentations
given at the Seminar
and also abstracts of poster presentations.
