DTU Updraft Gasifier and Stirling Engine

Today, operation started on Stirling DK's latest installation situated on the campus areas of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Approximately 1% of DTU's total power consumption and 2% of its heat consumption will be supplied by the installation.

The plant includes a Stirling engine with an output of 35 kWe of electrical power. The surplus heat from the plant, in the form of hot water, is fed into the district heating system of the DTU campus.

The plant is fuelled by wood chips originationg partly from cuttings from DTU park areas. In this way, the plant is a stand-alone facility that enables DTU to become partly self-sufficient with CO2-neutral power and heat from locally availabel fuel sources.

More information about the project can be found here.

Combined heat and power with local fuel

17.3.2008 Minister Mauri Pekkarinen officially opened on 17th of March 2008 a new type of CHP Bio power plant at Lestijärvi, Finland. The plant has been built by Lestijärvi Wood chip Cooperative. The plant's technology is based on patented Entimos-technology.

*Emission free energy from own district * The fuel for the Lestijärvi power plant comes from local forests. Wood chips are gasified in an Entimos-gasifier and the produced gas is used in an engine/generator set which produces ca. 0,3 MW (net) of electricity and ca.
0,65 MW (net) of heat. The electricity is directed to the national grid and the heat is used in district heating and for fuel drying.

My partner Guenther Freudendahl and I are delighted about Paul Anderson's kind reference to Gus Johansson, our friend and mentor, who passed away at the age of nearly 84 on 09 March 2005.

Gus retired from his co-founder position of one of South Africa’s major civil engineering companies in 1984. To realize his dream of many decades and keep his gray matter active, he devoted all his time to invent a TAR FREE Gasifier, based on the 2nd world war Imbert down draft method. The result came swiftly: in the System Johansson, tar is cracked at ±1,500ºC --- a breakthrough of extraordinary proportions.
