The report profiles agencies whose technologies have been recognised by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. It includes key agencies involved in various stages of the supply chain of biomass gasification for thermal and electrical end-uses, such as research and development, manufacturing, marketing and operation and maintenance.
This article explains the basics of black liquor gasification in the pulp and paper industry. Black liquor, which accounts for most of the fuel consumed in Kraft mills, is usually combusted in recovery boilers to recover chemicals and to produce process steam and on-site electricity (via a steam turbine). The efficiency of such boilers is, however, low (around 65%-70%). Black liquor gasification is a process in which a clean synthesis gas (syngas) is produced from black liquor by converting its biomass content into a gaseous energy carrier.
These materials have often been regarded as waste but it is possible to use fine biomass residues as a fuel source. This brief looks at some recent developments.
Cambodia is a key player in the global market for exported rice and the rice-producing sector has been a pillar of national development plans to foster food security and accelerate economic development. The uptake of clean technologies needed to achieve the desired outcomes, however, has been hampered by a lack of finance and awareness of the benefits among producers.
There are currently approximately 200 existing diesel mini-grids in Cambodia and the same amount again will be needed by 2015. They often face very high production costs due to inefficient fossil-fuel powered generators and to the poor design of distribution systems. These constraints hamper the ability to increase energy access in the poorest rural areas.
L’industrialisation des pays en voie de développement engendre l’augmentation des déchets liquides que sont les huiles de vidange, tout en se heurtant au problème de déficit énergétique. D’autre part, elle s’accompagne d’une forte croissance démographique qui accentue et augmente la quantité de déchets, particulièrement les déchets ménagers solides. Ce qui constitue une réelle menace pour l’environnement et les populations.
This fact sheet discusses the injection of coal and waste plastics in blast furnaces. The simultaneous injection of pulverised coal and waste plastics increases the efficiency of combustion and gasification with 10%.
