Micro-Bio-CHP - Development of a Novel Gas Extraction and Cleaning Technology Directly Integrated in a Biomass Updraft Gasifier with Subsequent Gas Burner

Short Introductive summary

Within the Horizon Europe project Micro-Bio-CHP (No. 101083409, 10/2022 – 03/2026) a new, highly efficient micro-scale biomass CHP system based on a fixed-bed updraft gasifier and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is developed, which maximises electric efficiency and annual full load operation hours of electricity production from biomass and also provides flexibility regarding heat production. In combination with a state-of-the-art PV module as well as with appropriate heat and electricity storage solutions this system shall allow for energy autonomy of multi-family buildings in terms of space heating, domestic hot water and electricity supply throughout the whole year. The concept perfectly utilises the potential of residential biomass heating systems for CO2 reduction as it foresees a very efficient combination of bioenergy and solar energy providing the possibility of a CO2 neutral energy supply of residential buildings.
