Abstract
Sustainable supply of energy is of major importance for society and economy. The worldwide primary energy consumption will nearly double in the next 20 yr, with an increased contribution of renewable energy sources. The TARGeT project was performed to enhance biomass utilization in more cost-competitive IGCC systems for biomass. This project focuses on integration of the main process components in such systems. EU sponsored this international project in which the following goals were set, i.e., gaining an extended knowledge of tars formed in the different gasification processes, determine the effect of hot gas cleaning on tar concentration, and measure and model when the concentration of tars results in emissions during combustion. Combustion experiments were performed in a refitted 1.5 Mw non-swirling gas turbine combustion chamber based on a GE frame 5 combustor can. Stable combustion of biomass (biomass derived) low calorific value fuel gas with a heating value between 2.5 and 4 MJ/cu mn was achieved. An SPA analysis yielded the concentrations of components from benzene (M = 78.11 g/mole) to xylenols (M = 122.17 g/mole).
