Biomass - Wood Energy
Solid biomass energy fueled by “low-value” residues from forestry, the wood industry, agriculture and cities has well established supply chains and best practice codes to ensure the sustainable supply and clean burning of the fuels thus enabling industry and municipalities to make the shift from fossil to clean, renewable, local, environmentally friendly and energy with a stable supply for both their heat and power needs.
Evolving trends in CCUS suggest that routes to carbon negative biomass heat and power may also become commercially available in the relatively near future which will represent a step-change in the role solid biomass energy can play in the fight against climate change.
Conferences
Two days of international conferences address the key topic of sustainable forestry biomass supply with a panel of international experts, promote the role of the regional wood energy animators in France, explore via a number of exemplary projects the role that biomass and low-carbon fuels can play in decarbonizing industry’s needs for process heat, examine the world of district heating from biomass and provide an update on the pellet market with an overview of the latest innovative trends.Circular Room take me there

BECCU/S : Ricardo and Bluebox Energy teams up to create technology that uses sustainable forestry waste to remove greenhouse gases and provide local communities with renewable heat and electricity, and by-products for farming. The technology works by taking sustainably sourced waste wood from domestic timber production and then processing it in three ways: producing biochar; generating heat and power; and capturing, using and storing carbon dioxide. The heat and power can be used to benefit the local community, the biochar can be used in agriculture as animal feed or fertilizer, and the carbon dioxide can be used in the production of low-carbon concrete.

BECCS : all eyes on Stockholm Exergi !
As part of its research and development activities, Stockholm Exergi is working on how BECCS can make a substantive contribution to supporting national and international climate goals.
BECCS is one possible way of slowing global warming and ultimately rebalancing the climate sustainably. Stockholm Exergi’s calculations show that there is potential to capture 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year at their bio-cogeneration plant in the Värtan area of Stockholm. Combine this with the rest of Stockholm and other companies’ operations, the potential is even greater, amounting to two million tonnes per year, which is approximately twice as much as the carbon dioxide emissions from all car traffic in Stockholm.

Biohydrogen : Shifting to hydrogen won’t make any significant difference in our fight against climate change without shifting to Green Hydrogen. Pathways to produce biohydrogen or green hydrogen from biomass and/or low carbon fuels are exciting and proliferating, be it from cracking biomethane, microbial treatment of industrial effluents, pyrolysis or thermolysis or gasification of biomass or low-carbon fuels.
Whilst electrolysis of water enabled by excess renewable energy receives much media attention, other pathways, bio and low-carbon pathways with improved environmental credentials are also now making headway and will contribute significantly to the greening of hydrogen in the years to come.
