Energy From Vast Biomass 10, Wood Ethanol thru Gas
• -->cont: •1FOREST : ✔ 1g Residual: Cellulosic Ethanol etc: ii- β Dilute Acid Hydrolysis:
• Also Dilute Acid Hydrolysis produces enormous amount(20-35% of total produc=on) of
unu=lized wet impure & somewhat SubCri=cal water altered lignin, s=ll oHen discarded:
accumulated 30million+ m3(Russian industrial waste bashing Western media mostly
ignore just this massive lignin dumping & ethanol industry - to hide economically
disrup=ve CO2 sequestra=ng Russian lignocellulosic fuel business?)
• iii-Gasifica'on + reforming + Fischer Tropsch can process whole wood fibre including
lignin: (UPM-Kymmene+), Lower cost with steam gasifica=on ◎(Woodland Biofuels+),
Small scale rotary kiln use gasifying(Micro Energy Japan+), Likely world's first modern
10,000ton/yr level biomass feed commercializa=on in 2013, feedstock is mix of wood,
plant, trash etc(KaidiHI.com -
).
iv-Pyroysis based: produces electrical power & heat while generates liquid fuel(BTG
Bioliquids - Empyro BV, Fotum+),
• Mega "test" facility(Karlsruhe bioliq), Largest operator in in this type with interna=onal
loca=ons(Ensyn Technologies). Also see Wet Pyrolysis at p98: ✔ 3c Hydrothermal
Carboniza=on(HTC). v-Sub/SuperCri'cal water(SCW) element(higher temp than
hydrolysis (ie Near Cri=cal Water[NCW]), Can process whole wood fibre including lignin.
All SCW related tech is marked ◎ in biomass sec=on): ◎(Licella - Ignite Energy
Resources, Steeper Energy, BTG World - BTG Biomass+), Steam Thermolysis ✔
◎(Concord Blue), Well known majors par=cipated but followed by project
cancella=on(Catchlight Energy[Chevron - Weyerhaeuser]): too low cost?
