Project overview “Multi-fuel energy generation for Sustainable and Efficient use of Coal (SECoal)” Speaker: Sylwester Kalisz 1 KIC InnoEnergy | CC Poland+ project review | Krakow, 11-12 April 2011
SECoal project - goal and impacts Objective: SECoal project is dedicated to deliver innovative approaches to the co-utilization of multi-fuel inputs of various origin and quality in conjunction with coal-based power generation. It aims at quick delivery of industrially demanded, yet innovative, technological solutions and products ready for direct deployment in power utilities • For existing business processes: • SECoal will enhance security of energy supply through diversification of fuels; contribute to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through enhanced usage of bio-derived fuels • SECoal will deliver incremental innovation technologies directly applicable in related industries • SECoal will contribute to reduction of operating costs of power generation utilities • For new business processes: • SECoal will deliver innovative co-firing technologies thanks to services provided by dedicated, newly established spin-off company 2
