8MW Pioneering Biomass CHP Plant Güssing Welcomes 50 participants from 4th BTLtec. Insights & Best Practices shared by researchers.

Posted on : 02 Jul, 2009

 

Biomass CHP Plant Güssing, is opening its doors to 50 participants from the 4^th BTLtec conference in an eagerly anticipated site visit. Aimed at reinforcing key concepts and concerns addressed at the conference, the site visit will showcase Austria’s pioneering success in Biomass to energy.

 

The combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Güssing, Austria has a fuel capacity of 8 MW and an electrical output of about 2 MWel with an electrical efficiency of about 25 %. Wood chips with a water content of 20 - 30 % are used as fuel. The plant consists of a dual fluidized bed steam gassifier, a two-stage gas cleaning system, a gas engine with an electricity generator, and a heat utilization system.

 

Biomass CHP Plant Güssing have also developed a pilot project to convert Biomass into Fischer-Tropsch diesel.

 

The Biomass CHP Plant Güssing started operations in January 2002 and was the first community in the European Union to produce its whole energy demand – electricity, heating/cooling, fuels – out of renewable resources.

 

The delegation of 50 will depart for Güssing at 1.45PM on 25^th September 2009 to view the Biomass CHP Plant Güssing and the Pilot BTL plant. The tour will end at 5PM.

 

Places on the 4^th BTLtec site visit are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and are open to 4^th BTLtec conference participants only.
