Abstract
Currently, there are 60 straw-fired district heating plants in operation in Denmark many of which supply energy to small towns or villages. Even the smallest (2 MW) serving 200 houses can have a sound economy. 1.4% of Denmark`s fuel demand is covered by straw, but there is enough of this fuel to cover 7.3% of total needs. Increased use, it is claimed, of straw as fuel would have positive effects on the agricultural sector, the environment and on present rates of unemployment. Chances for utilizing straw as fuel are increased by the growing amount of cogeneration plants that are being established in Denmark. The Danish government encourages, and helps finance, activities aimed at developing the use of straw as fuel. The aim of the publication is to present basic know-how on straw quantities, the handling of straw, straw-fired district heating and cogeneration plants, related technologies etc., which could be useful for those interested in establishing a straw-fired plant. Economic and environmental aspects are also dealt with. (AB) (50 refs.)
