Co-firing coal and biomass in existing power plants facilitates influential advancement the use of renewable energy resources carbon emissions reduction. Biomass is intended as a CO2-zero net emission because, during its rise, it uses same fraction CO2 from air that released combustion. In addition, content nitrogen sulfur lower than coal. Therefore, NOx SOx can be minimized by co-firing with g...

In the endeavor of optimizing the sustainability of bioenergy production in Denmark, this consequential life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the production of heat and electricity from one hectare of Danish arable land cultivated with three perennial crops: ryegrass (Lolium perenne), willow (Salix viminalis) and Miscanthus giganteus. For each, four con...

Abstract Biomass is one of the world’s greatest sustainable energy potentials. Utilization biomass in form Co-firing coal fuel with alternative to reduce dependence fossil fuels towards green power plant. This paper addresses Co-Firing modelling test results up 50% using palm kernel shell (palm shell) Ketapang Coal Fired Power Plant (CFPP) 2x10 MW. CFPP has circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boile...

Oxy-fuel combustion is a clean coal technology based on firing fuel in an enriched oxygen atmosphere to obtain a high CO2 concentration in the off-gases. This technology can be combined with the co-firing biomass and the use of blends of coal and biomass can compensate for the fact that the gas properties in the furnace in an oxycombustion process differ from the air-firing case (oxy-firing flu...

Volumetric combustion has been developed to realize a high substitution ratio of biomass in co-firing boilers, which features an intensive flue gas internal recirculation inside furnace. However, the characteristics of NOx and SOx emissions in large-scale boilers with volumetric combustion were not fully clear. In this paper, an Aspen Plus model of volumetric combustion system was built up base...

This paper reviews literature on co-firing of coal with biomass fuels. Here, the term biomass includes organic matter produced as a result of photosynthesis as well as municipal, industrial and animal waste material. Brief summaries of the basic concepts involved in the combustion of coal and biomass fuels are presented. Different classes of co-firing methods are identified. Experimental result...

To detect seasonal and long-term differences in growth and photosynthesis of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) exposed to elevated CO(2) under ambient conditions of precipitation, light, temperature and nutrient availability, seedlings were planted in soil representative of an early, abandoned agricultural field and maintained for 19 months in the field either in open-top chambers providing one of...

Currently there are still many power plants using fossil fuels, including oil, gas and coal to produce electricity. The problem recently received by developing countries, Indonesia, is environmental degradation due CO, SO2 NOx emissions. Co-burning of biomass with in most countries one the economical technologies available today for significant pollutant reduction. This study tested combined co...
