Unlike other renewable sources ( Wind, Solar etc.) Biomass is an energy source that is neither regional nor seasonal. It is solar energy captured and stored ! The capital Investment is also lower, compared to the others, especially on a larger scale. In fact its scalability is limited only by economic radius of procuring Biomass . In view of the above, the Biomass procured should be from a low cost source or high yield energy crops 100t/ hectare/ year Potential Biomass that are readily available in India are: Bagasse, Rice straw/Husk, Cotton stalks, etc. A 10 MW power plant thru IGCC will require only 60% of Biomass than conventional one due to higher cycle efficiency.
Biomass pretreatment
Since Biomass is expensive moisture removal at source becomes all the more imperative, to cut transport costs This is needed for bagasse as its moisture does not drop below 35% even on prolonged storage. Biomass like Napier grass is too bulky and hence moisture removal by innovative Exergy drying is to be considered. Other Energy crops such as Beema bamboo and Powlownia will also require pre -drying. For gasification moisture removal from Biomass is more critical and Esvin tech has tied up with Swedish Exergy to promote this innovative steam drying technology. In our Bubbling bed Gasifier, pelletizing or briquetting is not a pre-requisite.
