EUBCE 2023 - Bert VAN DE BELD - Smart and Flexible Heat & Power from Fast Pyrolysis Oil

Smart and Flexible Heat & Power from Fast Pyrolysis Oil

 Print

Biomass conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers and sustainable biofuels

Smart and Flexible Heat & Power from Fast Pyrolysis Oil

Short Introductive summary

The overall objective of SmartCHP™ is the realization of a cost-effective and flexible energy system by using Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil (FPBO) in an efficient diesel engine based CHP. Two compression-ignition engines are available at BTG, a one-cylinder research engine (1C) and a 50 kWe, four-cylinder prototype (4C). In the presentation experimental results of both the 1C engine as well as the prototype will be presented.

Presenter's biography

Dr. Bert van de Beld joined BTG Biomass Technology Group BV in 1995 and became director of technology in 2002. He received his PhD at Twente University in the Netherlands on air purification by catalytic oxidation in an adiabatic packed bed reactor with periodic flow reversal. He was scientific/technical coordinator of the FP-7 EMPYRO project in which the semi-commercial pyrolysis plant is built and operated. Currently, he is involved in projects on pyrolysis oil quality control and the use of the pyrolysis liquid in modified diesel engines. Furthermore he is the representative of the Netherlands in IEA task 34 - thermochemical conversion of biomass into liquid fuels.
