Abstract:
The important role of bioenergy in the future energy supply was shown in many studies. The agricultural production of energy crops is in competition to food production and discussed controversial. Therefore the academic and commercial research is focused on waste or residue biomass. A promising conversion technology for the production of liquid fuels from residue biomass is intermediate pyrolysis with integrated reforming (TCR®). The high quality of products form thermo-catalytic reforming is not only limited to the liquid fuels, high hydrogen containing gas and a stable char, low in hydrogen and oxygen can be realized.
At the moment the TCR technology can be offered at throughputs of 2 kg/h for lab scale, 30 kg/h for decentralized power generation, 300 kg/h for coupling to biogas units and 3000 kg/h for technical scale. First projects or orders are given for countries like India, China, Italy, Germany, UK, Canada, Mexico and Brazil.
