Bio-Energy

  • Solid biomass to energy via thermal routes: holistic approach from production to end-use ensuring consistent, high quality fuel; technology optimised for biomass resource.
  • Anaerobic Digestion: evaluation of wastes, manures and energy crops including grass silage – a potential 200-300MWe; technology optimisation and efficiency improvement.
  • Biogas upgrading & energy conversion:
    developments in upgrading and processing of biogas and the onward use of the biomethane in fuel cells or conversion to liquid biofuels.
