Project Title:

Hydrogen from biomass, biomass gasification

Ref.No.: 52

Project Type and Category:

Hydrogen production

Project Duration:

Until the end of 2000

Project Participants:

DMT Gesellschaft für Forschung und Prüfung mbH /Essen;
H & C Engineering GmbH/ Gummersbach, WIBA, München

Sponsor:

Local public energy supplier.

Project Budget and
Funding:

12 million DM, 50% funding by Bavarian State Government

Project Description and Objectives:

· Location: Oberwildflecken in the norternmost part of Bavaria
· Realization: Prototype until 1999, Optimization until 2000
· Biomass reactor: Allothermic gasification process with a thermal power rating of 2.5 MWth
Input of 500 kg of biomass (wood or green matter) and 100 l of water per hour
Annual biomass consumption between 2,000 t and 3,000 t
Per 1 t of biomass, 18 kg of ash and 2 kg of solid residues are obtained
Net efficiency of gasification process lies between 50% and 60%
Gas treatment:: Pressure Swing Absorption
Hydrogen consumers: Fuel cell cogeneration plants (still to be defined if PAFC or MCFC), Hydrogen gas motor
Total output of FC plant and gas motor plant: 600 kWe and 800 kWth

Technical Goals:
