Description
An innovative technology will be developed for the control of biomass gasification processes, the production of synthesized gas and the improvement of its quality, using MW pre-treatment of biomass pellets of various origins (IPUL). SINTEF will carry out numerical modelling of the dynamics of the advanced gasification process. KTU will conduct a full life cycle analysis of the developed technology, evaluating the costs and sustainability of this technology. The impact of the new technology on the environment will be studied and evaluated by TalTech. It is expected that experience of involved partners will facilitate to reach the project goal enhancing use of different regional biomass resources for energy production and will contribute to the implementation of the EU''s long-term strategy, reducing the impact of energy producers on the environment and achieving climate-neutral and efficient energy production by 2050. Respectively, it is expected that the improved project, which will be created in a frame of the BioTech project, will be an ambitious, multidisciplinary project, the aim of which is to expand experimental research creating science-based and advanced technology for syngas production and its quality control, which will be supported by advanced numerical modelling of gasification dynamics, full life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment thus increasing the scientific value of the research. Effectively using the research synergy of the partners involved in the project from different countries of ES will significantly influence Europe''s progress towards the sustainability of energy production reducing the dependence of energy producers on centralized energy supply, the need of which has already been confirmed by events in Ukraine.
