WP5: Applications of energy carrier

Testing and clasification of the technical and economic utilization paths of energy carrier(s) included:

• Investigation of combustion of pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation coal in heat and power production.
• Adaption of a FLOX burner and verification of pyrolysis oil combustion for residential heating.
• Proof of catalytic pyrolysis oil as bio crude input to a refinery.
• Investigation of energy carriers to form syngas for the production of synthetic fuel and chemicals.
• Investigation of the technical and economic potential of separated chemicals.

BioSynCrude®: The Energy density of this intermediate product generated by flash pyrolysis is up to ten times higher than that of the feedstocks (KIT).
