Technology Overview and Grants a) 1.1 Technology overview The most common forms of creating bioenergy are listed in Table 4 below. Technology Combustion Description The burning of feedstock (wood chips/pellets etc). It is the most commonly used biomass technology to create heat and/or electricity. Converting the organic part of biomass, at high temperatures into a gas mixture with fuel value (thermochemical gasification). A rapidly emerging technology. Is a promising technology, which decomposes biomass between 300 – 700°centigrade in the absence of oxygen to produce solids, or more commonly, liquids, and a mixture of combustible gases. Chemical modification of vegetable oils, e.g. rape seed into esters for use in engines. Converting organic waste into biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) to be used in gas, diesel or dual fuel engines. Biogas can be exploited from landfill sites, and can be used as a waste management method. Ethanol-based transport biofuels can be used as a substitute for . . . . . . community schemes, individuals (e.g. household and a business premises), and for housebuilders.
