A biofuel chain for the production of heat has been assessed. It has been shown that high quality liquid biofuel can be produced from industrial wood fuel qualities. Emissions when firing this liquid biofuel in a 0.5 MW boiler are comparable to those of mineral oils. Performance data for several critical process steps have been provided. Development work aiming at improving fuel quality has been carried out. Basic biofuel combustion data has been generated. Integrated pyrolysis is assumed in feasibility assessments. Alternatives for improving the economics are discussed.

Abstract

A biofuel chain for the production of heat has been assessed. It has been shown that high quality liquid biofuel can be produced from industrial wood fuel qualities. Emissions when firing this liquid biofuel in a 0.5 MW boiler are comparable to those of mineral oils. Performance data for several critical process steps have been provided. Development work aiming at improving fuel quality has been carried out. Basic biofuel combustion data has been generated. Integrated pyrolysis is assumed in feasibility assessments. Alternatives for improving the economics are discussed.
