13 Rammevilkår for skog-basert bioenergi produksjon i Norge Konkuranse-kraften for biomasse som energibærer blir stadig bedre ettersom prisen på fossile energibærere øker Rundvirke av norsk gran er et for kostbart råstoff for produksjon av energibærere Greiner, topper (grot) og energi-virke er den største ressursen for bioenergi i Norge som idag som utnyttes i veldig liten grad. Produksjon av bioenergi/energi bærere fra skogsråstoff er kostnads-effektivt ved bruk av det råstoffet som finnes lokalt/regional Skog-næringen er avhenging av full utnyttelse av råstoffet. Skogsentrepenører og sagbrukene er avhengige av nye applikasjoner for henholdsvis massevirke og sagbrukgsflis dersom dagens treforedlingsindustri i Norge avvikles. Lignocellulose 13

14 Aktuell skogbasert produksjon av energibærere i Norge Kompetansebehov Energifortetting av biomasse (pyrolyse, pelletering) viktig mht kostnadseffektiv råstoff-logistikk Forbehandlings-teknologi for effektiv og selektiv depolymerisering og separering av vedpolymerene (cellulose, hemicelluloser, lignin) Teknologi for konvertering av vedpolymere til kjemikalier og drivstoff-komponenter Bioraffinerings-kompetanse for samproduksjon av materialer, kjemikalier og energi/energibærer Lignocellulose 14

16 Energifortetting gjør biomassen transporterbar! 16

17 Torrefaction Technology characteristics 17

18 Fast pyrolysis Technology characteristics Superior bio-oil yields versus other pyrolysis processes. Non-condensable gases and char can be combusted to provide energy Flexible with respect to feedstock type Removes essentially all ash Can be stored, pumped and transported like petroleum products. Sulfur-free process Suitable for small scale plants at rather moderate investment costs 18

19 Pyrolysis oil competence established at PFI Bio-oil refinery project: Mass and energy balances for a fast pyrolysis plant based on Norwegian spruce and forest residue feedstock blends Verified effects of feedstock competition on bio quality characteristics Successfully demonstrated combustion of pyrolysis oil in diesel burner in pilot scale New process for producing ash free pyrolysis oil Competence platform for realizing fast pyrolysis plant in Norway Testing combusting properties of pyrolysis liquid in diesel burners 19

20 Pyrolysis oil competence established at PFI Key competence established at PFI Techniques for producing fast pyrolysis oils from wood feedstocks Techniques for analyzing quality characteristics of pyrolysis oils like bulk energy density, homogeneity, storage stability, water content, deoxygenation degree, rheological properties, solids, ash content, lignin and spectrometric characterization (GC-MS, FTIR etc) NorBioLab: An unique fast pyrolysis pilot rig suitable for testing both direct fast pyrolysis and catalytic fast pyrolysis is being built at PFI 20

21 ReShip - Renewable wood-based biofuels for Shipping Aim Develop technology for producing pyrolysis oil based multicomponent fuels suitable for marine diesel engines Project consortium R&D partners: PFI (Project owner), Aston University, NTNU Industry partners: Forest owners, energy producers, engine producer and shipping companies (value chain consortium) Concept
