A flexible and integrated energy system based on gasification of liquefied biomass and waste

The project develops a technology suitable for flexible and integrated production of power, heat and liquid fuels based on biomass and municipal waste. The process involves liquifaction of the organic materials using heat and enzymes, and gasification at high pressure. Outputs can be either heat and electricity or various liquid or gaseous fuels. The technology is evaluated in a life-cycle assessment perspective, including direct and indirect consequences for the waste management system as well as the energy system.
