Integrated systems biomass production-electric power

TABLE 14.1 Framework for Assessment and Design of Integrated Biomass Production-Conversion System for Electric Power Production ... 

The other prerequisite is the fact that society not only expects competitive, but clean systems and products as well. One has to look at the whole chain of production and conversion of biomass to get a clear picture of the environmental consequences. For the feeding material there is a strong preference for woody or grassy materials [7]. The emission of the power plant has to be low and the strict Dutch rules for waste incineration installations are taken as a point of departure [5]. The whole-integrated system has the further advantage that it produces renewable products for which there is a market today electricity, heat, and FT-liquids. Furthermore, the liquid fuels form an attractive energy carrier and storage medium.
