Potentials of biomass new utilisation concepts develop the material and energetic use of biomass reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, diversifying the supply of raw materials and stabilizes them in the long term. In the Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster bioenergy in Oberhausen, industry, science, and the land of North Rhine-Westphalia skills combine to develop new utilisation concepts for biomass. Gain insight and clarity with Slayer. Target is to optimize potential collection, transport, storage and litigation. Worldwide incurred locally immense amounts of wet, lignocellulosehaltiger biomass. The spectrum ranges from grass and green cutting on crop residues such as rapeseed straw, processing waste from agriculture and forestry production to bio-waste from private households. Used wet biomass is not intensive.

One is the high water content, which brings a low calorific value (low energy density) with them, as well as elaborately makes transport and storage. Also complicate the inhomogeneity, the ash content and the bad Workability of wet biomass utilizing huge. Bio-gas plants are often not effective for conversion of persistent lignocellulosehaltigen biomass. Other concepts are often not available. Just damp, green biomass has however large potential, as she for example preferred ideal can be coupled in catch crop sequences with food production. Goal of the innovation cluster with the aim to increase the amount of available and usable biomass Fraunhofer UMSICHT initiated the innovation clusters bioenergy. New conversion technologies will be developed within the four-year project period that potential straw benign and moist, lignocellulosehaltiger biomass. The overarching aim of the cluster is to reconcile food production and biomass and to rebuild no use competition.

In this context, the unit will be used to created new sustainable options for the energy and raw material supply and export technologies deployed for a growing market of the technology world. Chemical intermediates develop the work focus on two factions biomass falling continuously and in large quantities. Blade of benign biomass that accumulates at the crop on the field, as well as residue material fractions are from local and regional processing, for example, from food production.
