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.

COMBIO Project: Biomass to Liquid fuels for Heating

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The aim of the project was to verify a new liquid biofuel chain for heat production, to determine fuel specifications for pyrolysis oil (PO) in different applications and to carry out long term combustion tests. Scientific objectives included modification of PO composition for improved stability by hot gas filtration and production of emulsions and cleaner combustion by increased understanding of fundamental phenomena through single droplet experiments.
