Development of a process to produce biochar of a quality that makes it suitable to be applied as a substitute for fossil carbon in metallurgical processes at competitive prices. Link: Technology / Info: Biomass Pyrolysis
As added-value products of the process besides biochar also green electricity and heat shall further reduce the CO2 emissions of the energy sector.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation based optimisation of the pyrolysis process and development of the pyrolysis gas upgrading for heat and power generation.
Performance and evaluation of test runs at a prototype plant.
Development of application concepts in the metallurgical industry.
