A biomass-fired power plant produces electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler.
The most common types of boilers are hot water boilers and steam boilers. Wood chips, residues and other types of biomass are used in the boilers, in the same way as coal, natural gas and oil.
Fuel is stored in a bunker for further transport to the boiler. In the boiler, water is heated to high temperature under pressure. Steam from the boiler powers the turbine, which is connected to the generator. Steam that has passed through the turbine, heats district heating water, which is distributed through the district heating network's piping.
For over 15 years the biomass market is growing rapidly. Biomass refers to products made of organic fractions and residues from forestry, agriculture and the food industry. The production of biomass can solve Biomass problems and creates jobs. It is a renewable energy source that substitutes fossil fuels. Around half of total EU energy consumption comes from heating and cooling, of which 82 percent is powered by fossil fuels. However, bioenergy is currently the leading renewable in heating and cooling (79%), representing 10 percent of EU grosses final consumption of energy.
Biomass will play a growing role as a backup, dispatch able energy source. The heating sector is the largest market segment for bioenergy consumption (66%). District heating networks carrying derived heat to individuals and businesses is also an important part of EU bio heat consumption—even essential in places like Nordic and Baltic countries. A majority of this bio power (61%) comes from CHP plants.
Currently, Thermal Technologies is the most developed and commercialized technology for Biomass fired Heating Plant conversion. However, a number of different technological configurations are already available for this purpose and, with a constant R&D; many others are envisioned to become valuable alternatives in the future. The following classification illustrates the possible methodologies which can be used in order to obtain energy from waste.
Over the next five years, LPI(LP Information) projects that Biomassfired Heating Plant will register a 2.8% CAGR in terms of revenue, reach US$ 19800 million by 2023, from US$ 17200 million in 2017.
