Abstract:
The farmers in Denmark and EU face huge challenges in marketing grain straw, and one main factor is the economy using straw for straw based combined heat and power (CHP) plants. This could be straw based power and heating plants, 2G or 3G bioethanol plants etc. Some very important challenges are handling of large quantities of straw bales and reducing the cost per produced energy unit, logistic barn management, handling of bales, quality control of feedstock and industrial preparation of feedstock for various applications. A Danish cluster named Processbio, represented by a handful of companies, has taken these challenges serious and cooperate in delivering full scale front to end material handling and processing systems of all sorts of biomass in bale- and bulk format. One of the partners is Stratek, who has developed an innovative cost- and energy-efficient industrial biomass shredder. Technological Institute, AgroTech has carried out a test program on two plants that have installed the Biomass Shredder in EU. Also, the economically benefits in industrial preparation of feedstock for various applications, where the Biomass Shredder has been analyzed.
