Abstract
This workshop on Thermochemical Processing of Biofuels was the first to be organized by the Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU) in this subject area. Within the biofuels area there are a number of feedstock based programmes for landfill gas, agriculture and forestry, municipal waste and special industrial wastes such as tyres, clinical waste, poultry litter and sewage sludge. There is potential for utilisation of all these materials as an energy resource. The range of available technologies for exploiting these resources is being extended by the development of advanced combustion and thermochemical processing technologies. Particular interest exists in routes to electricity production and the Department of Energy (DEn) programme for renewable energy includes a target of 1000MW of installed capacity from renewable sources by the year 2000. The mechanism that was introduced through the 1989 Electricity Act to attain this target by bringing forward commercial projects is known as the Non Fossil-Fuel Obligation. The question of environmental acceptability is also a major priority underpinning the interest in thermochemical processing technologies. (Author)
