The document discusses Arbaflame's advanced wood pellet technology for replacing coal in power plants. It summarizes:
1) Arbaflame has over a decade of experience producing advanced wood pellets and testing them as a replacement for coal in power plants. Their pellets can replace coal completely with only minor modifications to plants.
2) Arbaflame plans to build its first commercial plants in 2016 and establish strategic partnerships to license its technology and sell pellets globally.
3) Full scale testing has been conducted successfully at over 8 coal plants worldwide, demonstrating the pellets can be handled like coal throughout the supply chain.
Low-grade fuel to high-quality energy by gasificationIlkka Hannula
Talk held at the International Conference on Thermochemical Conversion Science in 2013. It covers past and current development activities in the field of biomass and waste gasification
Turning Climate Crisis into Action. What should we be doing, what are we doing. A short appraisal of opportunities, unintended barriers and key drivers needed if we are to make meaningful progress in decarbonising our cities.
In short we have to give every building in the city an opportunity and desire to move forward from burning gas. This is the biggest contributor to climate change, the biggest density of activity and the single most pressing area no yet in enough focus.
Explore two of the most relevant topics, given the exponentially growing demand of HVAC solutions in the region and the significant energy savings achieved with heat pump solutions, especially relevant to the thriving hotel industry of Southeast Asia.

Installing renewable energy technologies into major infrastructure projects can provide opportunities for providing reduced CO2 savings and life cycle run costs adding a significant green element to a project..
Cutting Cost of CO2 Capture in Process Industry (CO2stCap) Project overview &...Global CCS Institute
The CO2StCap project is a four year initiative carried out by industry and academic partners with the aim of reducing capture costs from CO2 intensive industries (more info here). The project, led by Tel-Tek, is based on the idea that cost reduction is possible by capturing only a share of the CO2emissions from a given facility, instead of striving for maximized capture rates. This can be done in multiple ways, for instance by capturing only from the largest CO2 sources at individual multi-stack sites utilising cheap waste heat or adapting the capture volumes to seasonal changes in operations.
The main focus of this research is to perform techno-economic analyses for multiple partial CO2 capture concepts in order to identify economic optimums between cost and volumes captured. In total for four different case studies are developed for cement, iron & steel, pulp & paper and ferroalloys industries.
The first part of the webinar gave an overview of the project with insights into the cost estimation method used. The second part presented the iron & steel industry case study based on the Lulea site in Sweden, for which waste-heat mapping methodology has been used to assess the potential for partial capture via MEA-absorption. Capture costs for different CO2 sources were compared and discussed, demonstrating the viability of partial capture in an integrated steelworks.
Webinar presenters included Ragnhild Skagestad, senior researcher at Tel-Tek; Maximilian Biermann, PhD student at Division of Energy Technology, Chalmers University of Technology and Maria Sundqvist, research engineer at the department of process integration at Swerea MEFOS.
Philippe ANGLARET, the VP Business Development for Alstom Nuclear, presented the Turbine Island with its different characteristics and very impressive pictures.

Sustainable polymers from CO2 and water with low-carbon electricityIlkka Hannula
Within petrochemical industry the combination of synthetic methanol manufacture with MTO technology would make it possible to produce light olefins (ethylene and propylene) CO2 and water with low-carbon electricity. To satisfy global demand (206 Mt/a) of light olefins through P2X route 644 GW electricity and 924 Mt/a CO2 (3 % of annual global emissions) would be required. With today’s electricity market price scenarios the profitability of this concept is however very low in comparison to steam cracking of fossil hydrocarbon feedstocks. Based on cursory capital cost estimates, the levelised production cost of olefins would be 2000 €/t at current electricity prices.
Telling the Norwegian CCS Story | PART I: CCS: the path to sustainable and em...Global CCS Institute
In 2018, the Norwegian government announced its decision to continue the planning of a demonstration project for CO2 capture, transport and storage. This webinar focuses on the Fortum Oslo Varme CCS project. This is one of the two industrial CO2 sources in the Norwegian full-scale project.
At their waste-to-energy plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Fortum Oslo Varme produces electricity and district heating for the Oslo region by incinerating waste. Its waste-to-energy plant is one of the largest land-based sources of CO2 emissions in Norway, counting for about 20 % of the city of Oslo’s total emissions. The CCS project in Oslo is an important step towards a sustainable waste system and the creation of a circular economy. It will be the first energy recovery installation for waste disposal treatment with full-scale CCS.
Fortum Oslo Varme has understood the enormous potential for the development of a CCS industry in the waste-to-energy industry. The company is working to capture 90 % of its CO2 emissions, the equivalent of 400 000 tons of CO2 per year. This project will open new opportunities to reduce emissions from the waste sector in Norway and globally. Carbon capture from waste incineration can remove over 90 million tons of CO2 per year from existing plants in Europe. There is high global transfer value and high interest in the industry for the project in Oslo.
The waste treated consists of almost 60 % biological carbon. Carbon capture at waste-to-energy plants will therefore be so-called BIO-CCS (i.e. CCS from the incineration of organic waste, thereby removing the CO2 from the natural cycle).
Find out more about the project by listening to our webinar.
