Systems Using Bio-Liquids

Technology desciption

The potential of biomass utilization goes beyond heat production. One noteworthy application of biomass is the production of bio-liquids.

 

Bio-liquids are liquid fuels produced from biomass for energy purposes other than transport. According to the definition contained in the Renewable Energy Sources Act, bio-liquids are used for generating electricity or heat in systems that meet emission standards, provided such standards have been established under environmental protection regulations. Therefore, bio-liquids must not be equated with biofuels, which are primarily intended for use in transport.

 

The use of bio-liquids most often involves the production of heat and electricity through cogeneration. Their main advantages compared to other biomass-based systems include:

  • Greater operational flexibility, allowing quick response to changes in power demand;

  • Higher energy density;

  • Lower emissions during combustion of bio-liquids.
