Application

  • Sustainable energy production: Converts biomass residues like straws and husks into electricity, heat, hydrogen, and carbondioxide with high efficiency.
  • Industrial and environmental impact: Reduces reliance on fossil fuels and supports carbon footprint reduction through innovative CHP technology.

Description

The Bio-FlexGen project pioneers a transformative approach to renewable energy by using advanced Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology powered by digital optimisation to convert biomass residues such as straws and husks into multiple energy outputs. Its innovative Hybrid Fluidised Bed (HFB) gasifier achieves 55% efficiency and a 25MWe capacity, producing electricity, heat, hydrogen, and CO. The project enhances energy system flexibility and scalability while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It sets new benchmarks for sustainable energy solutions, contributing to a greener future.

 

 

Pathway Description:

The Bio-FlexGen project uses Hybrid Fluidised Bed (HFB) gasifier technology to convert biomass residues into syngas through the gasification process, which combines Bubbling and Circulating Fluidised Bed systems. The syngas can then be used for multiple energy outputs, including electricity, heat, hydrogen, and CO2. The process is optimized with advanced digital tools to ensure high efficiency and adaptability. This flexible approach promotes sustainable energy production with a 55% efficiency rate and a 25MWe capacity.
