Electricity and Heat from the Fields

Obtaining Electricity and Heat

The thermal gasification of biomass within combined heat and power stations and gas-engines is a real alternative to conventional wood-burning heat power stations with steam generators, particularly at the lower end of the output scale.

Relatively high degrees of electrical efficiency of up to 35% are possible for gasification projects. Heat can be withdrawn for other purposes and the emissions are also significantly lower. As a result, efficient units with a small output are able to process fairly large amounts of local biomass. This further increases the amount of renewable energy that can be made available.

Biomass has a great advantage over wind and solar energy: biomass is always available, so energy generation can be planned at a constant rate.

Using the Carbo-V Process that CHOREN has developed and tested over many years, solid biomass or organic waste substances can be thermally refined to generate up to 30 MW of electricity and heat with a clean, profitable and efficient process.
