Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

It is a declared goal of the European Union, to increase the share of biomass for power production. Gasification of biomass and combustion in a gas engine or turbine is the most efficient way of power production. However, for gas turbine stars in the lcv gas are a big problem and can result in fouling, increased emissions and failures during operation. In order to avoid those problems, intensive gas cleaning is up to now recommended because limits and effects in gas turbine combustion are not known. This makes biomass gasification less cost competitive then combustion systems. The focus of this project is on the effect of tars on fouling and emissions of turbines and micro-turbines and especially on interactions between gasifier, gas cleaning and (micro) turbine. Only by an integrated approach it will be possible to provide customised and more cost competitive biomass based IGCC systems.
