Overview:
Examples of
biomass include saw grass, forest harvest residue, agricultural residue or
stover, animal wastes and fermented sugary liquids like those pressed from
corn or sugar cane. Developed biopower technologies include direct
combustion, co-firing, gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion.
Bio-power is becoming a cost effective supplement to fossil power
generation for electricity and transportation fuels. This is opening new
markets and driving development of new technology to convert biomaterial
to liquid fuel or electricity. Large utilities are considering cofiring
with biomass as a means to cut fuel costs and reduce certain emissions.
Some small utilities are firing strictly with biomass or generating
biogases from agricultural waste to power boilers. Liquid fuels are being
used to power utility fleets, industrial processes and private
automobiles. Speakers at Bioenergy in Competitive Power Markets will
address issues relating to biopower, development of bioenergy for
transportation and cogeneration for manufacturing. At this stage of energy
research and development these are interdependent issues.
Bioenergy in Competitive Power Markets will discuss research and
development, feedstock availability, equipment efficiency, maintenance
costs and facility availability. Hear the experts give a succinct overview
of biopower development including technology issues, regulatory
challenges, opportunities, economic and market variables.
