Import, biomass

If there were to be a dramatic increase in U.S. methanol use, most of the supply would have to be imported. Biomass-generated methanol might be economical in the long term, but there is a significant amount of so-called stranded natural gas in areas around the globe that could be converted to methanol and shipped by tanker at relatively low cost. There... [Pg.86]

Most importantly, biomass pyrolysis will be carried out at remote locations, and in distributed manner. Thus, the catalysts should be cheap and simple to use. Acidic clays, silica aluminas and H-FAU type zeolites are relatively cheap and robust materials, can be mixed easily with heat carriers, and used for pyrolysis. Efficient contact between the solids (catalyst and biomass) to maximize catalytic action is one of the challenges that need to be overcome. [Pg.135]

Many studies have shown that in North Europe major biomass burning emissions are mostly linked with wood smoke from fireplaces and stoves, whereas in Southern Europe wildfires can be the most important biomass combustion source. The Mediterranean region is frequently under the influence of this phenomenon, especially during dry periods. Although wildfires can be a major contributor of particulate matter into the atmosphere, forest fire emissions are poorly quantified in the literature, due to the difficulties induced in estimating their temporal and spatial distribution. [Pg.228]

Important biomass fuel properties for thermochemical conversion processes are reported as proximate and ultimate analyses. The proximate and ultimate analyses for selected biomass feedstocks are presented in Table 33.5. For comparison, the analyses from two selected coal samples are also presented. Biomass generally has a lower energy density than coal, oils, and natural gas it also has higher oxygen content. The higher volatiles and oxygen content of biomass translate into a higher reactivity compared to traditional fossil fuels. In terms of thermochemical conversions, this means that less severe process conditions (lower temperature and shorter residence time) are required for bio-... [Pg.1507]

Large-scale dedicated installations for gasification of imported biomass. [Pg.493]

The production of Fischer-Tropsch liquids (diesel) is today the optimal route for producing energy carriers from biomass. The FT diesel is directly applicable in the existing infrastructure and is free from sulphur and aromatics in contrast to fossil diesel. For the demonstration of integrated systems ECN focuses on two lines of development (1) large-scale dedicated installations for imported biomass and (2) small- to medium scale installations for local biomass and residues. [Pg.497]

Biomass energy is expeaed to be one of the eflective methods fcr CCb reduction because biomass energy is carbon neutral. In Japan, however, there has been no discussion of the use of biomass energy because it is difficult to establish laige plantation areas in Japan. The e ctiveness of the use of imported biomass in Japan also has never been discussed. [Pg.957]
