Objectives
This project is looking to drive a high-level engineering study on biomass to power with CCS as a combined technology, assess the technology gaps, and the likely time-scales for implementation. Biomass conversion to power combined with CCS could provide the UK with substantial net negative CO2 emissions, with the potential to remove 50 to 100 Megatonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere on an annual basis (depending on capture rates).
Abstract
Press Release – dated 19 May 2011: extract
This is a six-month long £455,000 Biomass to Power with CCS project which will provide clarity on what further developments are required to better understand the biomass to power with CCS sector and what opportunities it could generate for the UK. The research will incorporate feedback from existing international demonstration projects that incorporate biomass co-firing, as well as dedicated biomass to power conversion. The project is being delivered through CMCL Innovations, in conjunction with Cambridge University, Doosan Babcock, Drax Power, EDF Energy, E4tech, Imperial Consultants, and Leeds University.
