Biomass To Energy
Biomass
Biomass is an infinite resource. Throughout history people have used it as food or fodder or as a fuel to generate heat. High-energy biomass containing carbon is made from CO2, water and small amounts of plant nutrients with sunlight acting as the driving force.
Technology
The globally patented Carbo-V Process lies at the heart of CHOREN technology. Using this multi-stage gasification process, it is possible to convert solid biomass and other feed materials containing carbon into combustion or synthesis gas.
Energy
The gas that is produced is either directly converted into electricity and heat in gas engines or is re-synthesized using what is known as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis – a catalytic process for liquefying gas – to form a synthetic biofuel known as SunDiesel.
