1. ELSAM, Fredericia (Denmark)

The poster is a presentation of the Danish Biomass Programme, relating ELSAM incentives to burn biofuels in power plants and ELSAM activities to that end. ELSAM is one of the two power pools dividing Denmark into east and west. Due to government demands, ELSAM has to burn approx. 600,000 tonnes of straw and 100,000 tonnes of wood chips by the year 2000, equivalent to approx. 10 PJ or 8% of ELSAM`s power production. To achieve the national CO{sub 2} goal-20% reduction by the year 2005-ELSAM plans to utilise biofuels to the equivalent of approx. 25 PJ or 15% of ELSAM`s power production. ELSAM activities aim at the following goals for CO{sub 2} reduction: identification of suitable biofuels (straws, mischantus, wood chips, etc.); co-firing of coal and straw in 150-250 MW pulverized fuel units; commercialisation of 100-250 MW 50-100% biofuel-fired power plants; increased efficiency on coal-fired plants through ultra super critical cycle; gasification of biofuels and coal; natural gas firing in existing or new units. The natural gas firing solution will not be debated any further. The poster carries information and related topics of the 9{sup th} European Bioenergy Conference, scheduled to take place on June 24-28, 1996 in Copenhagen.
