  1. Future and energyBIOENERGY What about me 40 years later ? BUDAPEST UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS ENGINEERING FACULTY OF CHEMICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING Dr. Bajnóczy Gábor Tonkó Csilla

  2. The pictures and drawings of this presentation are used and can be used only for education !Any commercial use is prohibited !

  3. Perhaps this will be my car ?

  4. Or these vehicles ?

  5. Fuel shortage !Is it me at home in winter ?

  6. Or she is my wife waiting for me at home

  7. Energy from bio-energy plant Adequate technology is applied to convert the biomass to - energy (direct conversion) ● combustion - fuel (indirect conversion) ● thermal gasification ●bio-oil by pyrolysis ● gasification by biomethods ● bioethanol production ● biodiesel production

  8. The most important questions are the-ENERGY CONTENT OF THE BIOMASS- Availability of Biomass- Costs

  9. ENERGY CONTENT OF BIOMASS • Unit: • solid, liquid fuels kJ/kg, MJ/kg • gas fuels: kJ/Ndm3, MJ/ Nm3 • N refers to normal state (0°C ≈ 273,15 K and 1 atm = 101325 MPa) Low heat value (LHV) and high heat value (HHV) complete combustion PRODUCTS CO2, SO2, H2O T= 298 K P= 1 bar + HEAT (LHV) REACTANTS fuel + oxygen T=298 K P= 1 bar PRODUCTS CO2, SO2,H2O T= 298 K P= 1 bar + HEAT (HHV) liquid complete combustion

  10. LHV and HHV of fuels • Measuring by calorimeter • Calculation by not typical in biomass available hydrogen 33829 C% + 144277 (H% - 1/8 O2%) + 10467 S% HHV = ------------------------------------------------------------------ [kJ/kg] 100 2500 (9H% + water%) LHV = HHV - ---------------------------- [kJ/kg] 100

  11. LHV values of fuels Natural gas CH4 48 MJ/kg the highest hydrogen content Liquid gas CH3-CH2-CH2-CH346 MJ/kg less hydrogen content Oil CH3-CH2-….-CH2-CH342 MJ/kg even less hydrogen content Biodiesel CH3-(CH2)n-C-OH 38 MJ/kg even less hydrogen content O II Coal 32 - 22 MJ/kg oxygen, water is present Coke mainly carbon28 MJ/kg lack of hydrogen ! BiogasCH4 : CO2≈50-50%≈24 MJ/kg CO2 does not burn BioethanolCH3-CH2-OH 27 MJ/kg increased oxygen content Wood, straw14 - 16 MJ/kg high oxygen content and water

  12. Direct Thermal Conversion of BiomassCombustion

  13. Some row materials for biomass combustion Forestry product Agriculture product Agriculture residue wood wheat Straw branch maize oilcake bark rape seed

  14. Wood for biomass combustion firewood wood chips Wood pellets The prime cost is significant Energy input: - decreased water content - grinding to powder - high pressure must be applied

  15. BIOMASS CONVERSION TO ENERGY COMBUSTION ON MOVING GRATES

  16. BIOMASS CONVERSION TO ENERGY Combustion in Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) boiler The air stream through the grate is strong enough to keep fluid or bubbling state the wood particles Secondary air (over fire air) Primary air (under fire air) The fuel must be uniform in size !

  17. BIOMASS CONVERSION TO ENERGY COMBUSTION III. GILLES pellet heater Household: 10 – 160 kW Industrial: 140 kW – 5 MW The pellet heating is getting more and more popular in western countries

  18. What can we do at home ? (η = efficiency) Tile stove only for woodη = 60 – 70 % Open fire placeη= 10 – 15 % Tile stove for wood and coalη = 60 – 70 % Central heating by pelletη ≈ 90 % Closed fire placeη = 20 - 30 %

  19. Biomass transformation to fuelThermal gasification

  20. THERMAL GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS Conversion of biomass into carbon- and hydrogen-rich fuel gases (carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane) Fuel gas better utilization efficiency of energy conversion ≈ 90 % less environmental polluting materials perfect combustion due to perfect mixing of fuel gas and air due to perfect mixing of fuel gas and air less carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and shoot particles will be formed.

  21. THERMAL GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS GASIFIER Downdraft gasifier atmospheric Syngas or producer gas Wood (12-20w% moisture) CH1.4O0,6 → CO + C + (CH)x + H2O CO 17-22 v% H2 16-20 v% CO2 10-15 v% CH4 2-3 v% N2 55-60 v% 300 - 400 °C C + CO2 → CO C + H2O → CO + H2 LHV : 5-5,86 MJ/Nm3 > 200 °C CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 300 - 700 °C 800 - 1000 °C CH1.4O0,6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O 1450 °C The methan concentration can be increased by pressure increase CO + 3 H2CH4 + H2O 2 C + 2 H2 CH4

  22. THERMAL GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS in circulating fluidized (CFB) boiler Environtherm.de

  23. THERMAL GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS Direct heat system Synthesis gas for methanol, ethanol production Condensation ▼ Bio-oil Direct heat system Synthesis gas for Fischer-Troops plant petrol diesel oil lubricating oil

  24. GASIFICATION BY BIOMETHODS BIOGAS Produced by biological breakdown of wet organic matters - biomass - manure - sewage - municipal waste - green waste - energy crops in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic digestion) PRODUCT COMBUSTIBLE BIOGAS ~ 25 - 10 MJ/Nm3 Natural gas 32 MJ/Nm3

  25. Technology of biogas production

  26. ENERGY FROM BIOGAS * Methane content 50 v% ** 16 MJ/kg *** 40 MJ/kg

  27. LANDFILL GAS 15-30 Nm3 / ton. year from the second year flaring heating Electric energy Greenhouse effect: CH4 >> CO2 The landfill gas is a very polluted gas !! Mercury, chlorinated hydrocarbons, non methane organic compounds Jenbacher gasmotor

  28. Energy from biomass bioethanol → motor fuel Maize corn

  29. BIOPLANTS FOR LIQUID BIOFUELS BIOETHANOL Photosynthesis of glucose: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 Fermentation by yeast: C6H12O6 = 2 C2H6O + 2 CO2 + heat Combustion of ethanol: 2 C2H6O + 6 O2 = 4 CO2 + 6 H2O + heat The carbon dioxide balance is zero → No greenhouse effect

  30.

(rival in food supply) • The energy balance is not outspokenly positive (debates)

The carbon dioxide balance is neutral. • The energy content is 9 % less than that of biodiesel. • Higher cetane number. • Due to the oxygen content less CO and (CH)x. Debates on soot emission. • Sulfur content is low. biodiesel : < 0,01mass% diesel : 0,2 mass% • Biodegradable • Miscibility with diesel oil • Excellent lubricating effect. • Smaller power loss on roads at higher altitudes from see level (the fuel contains oxygen)

  41. BIOPLANTS FOR LIQUID BIOFUELS BIODIESEL DRAWBACKS • The row material might be food. (rival in food supply) • The energy balance is not outspokenly positive (debates) • The exhaust gas has a definite oily smell. • Bacterial attack.

  42. IS THE BIOMASS A REAL ENERGY SOURCE ? Let see Hungary ! 93 000 km2

  43. Let’s substitute the petrol consumption by bioethanol ! Petrol consumption = 1 600 000 ton/year petrol: 43,5 MJ/kg ethanol: 26,8 MJ/kg Alcohol claim : 1 600 000 * 43.5/26.8 ≈ 2 600 000 ton/year Maize 2,8 ton alcohol/hectare/year Area claim: 2 600 000/2,8 ≈ 930 000 hectare = 9 300 km2 The growing can not be repeated on the same site : Area claim ≈ 3 * 9 300 = 27 900 km2

  44. Let’s substitute the diesel oil consumption by biodiesel ! Diesel oil consumption = 2 500 000 ton/year Biodiesel claim : 2 500 000 * 1,1 = 2 750 000 ton/year Rape: 1000 dm3 biodiesel /hectare/year ≈ 880 kg/hectare/year = 0,88 ton/hectare/year Area claim : 2750000/0,88 = 3 125 000 hectare = 31 250 km2 The growing can not be repeated on the same site : Area claim ≈ 3 * 31 250 = 93 750 km2

  47. Conclusions • The biomass is only one possibility to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and decrease the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide emission. • From the point of ‘sustainable development’, the total substitution is impossible. • From the point of ‘sustainable survival’, it has an outstanding significance.
