Abstract: . . .  ton/h rice husks) - 465°C max temperature of steam from bioler. District Heating systems fuelled by woodchips. Many installations in the European Alpine Region (Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany) Some examples: Few application of small scale cogeneration (1-2 MWe + 3-6 MWth) . . .
