The document discusses Ballard Power Systems' fuel cell solutions for distributed generation of clean energy. It highlights that fuel cells can run on hydrogen produced from biomass through pyrolysis gasification, providing local, sustainable, and lower cost electricity and heat for communities. Ballard's CLEARgen systems range from 165kW to multi-megawatt and have benefits like high fuel efficiency, scalability, and reduced carbon emissions when powered by biomass-derived hydrogen. Real-world deployments of Ballard fuel cell systems are noted.

Verdicorp, Inc. is helping solve the world’s energy problems by producing electricity from heat that would otherwise be wasted into the atmosphere. Verdicorp’s Verdi~Sys combines award-winning technology with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) System to capture waste heat from a variety of heat sources. It is particularly well-suited to transforming natural gas transmission engine exhaust into electricity, which means saving money.
Verdicorp President, Ron Conry and members of the corporate staff will be exhibiting the Verdi~Sys ORC system at the NAPE North American Petroleum Expo at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas on August 18-19, 2011. We look forward to speaking with you at the NAPE Expo in Houston. We will be in booth #2700.

biomass boiler to steam turbine to power generationAbhishekBobade4
Biomass boilers represent a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to heating and energy production. They utilize organic materials such as wood pellets, wood chips, agricultural residues, or even dedicated energy crops to generate heat or electricity. These systems have gained traction as a renewable energy solution, particularly in areas where biomass resources are abundant. In this comprehensive overview, we'll delve into the workings, benefits, challenges, and applications of biomass boilers.
### Introduction to Biomass Boilers
Biomass boilers function similarly to conventional boilers, but with a focus on utilizing biomass fuels instead of fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. The combustion of biomass materials within these boilers releases energy in the form of heat, which can be utilized for various heating purposes, including space heating, hot water production, or even industrial processes.
### Working Principles
The operation of a biomass boiler typically involves several key stages:
1. **Fuel Feed:** Biomass fuel, such as wood pellets or chips, is automatically or manually fed into the combustion chamber.
2. **Combustion:** Inside the combustion chamber, the biomass undergoes combustion, releasing heat energy.
3. **Heat Transfer:** Heat from the combustion process is transferred to water, steam, or air via heat exchangers.
4. **Heat Distribution:** The heated medium (water, steam, or air) is circulated through a distribution system to provide heat to the desired application.
5. **Emissions Control:** Advanced biomass boilers often incorporate emission control technologies to minimize pollutants released during combustion, ensuring environmental compliance.
### Types of Biomass Boilers
Biomass boilers come in various configurations, including:
1. **Stoker Boilers:** These feature a grate where biomass fuel is fed, allowing for continuous combustion.
2. **Fluidized Bed Boilers:** Utilize a bed of inert material (e.g., sand) to support and burn biomass fuel, offering high combustion efficiency.
3. **Pellet Boilers:** Specifically designed to burn wood pellets efficiently, offering automated feeding and combustion processes.
4. **Gasification Boilers:** Employ a two-stage process involving pyrolysis and gasification of biomass to produce a combustible gas that is then burned in the boiler.

Fischer-Tropsch fuels based on biomass and coal with carbon capture and storage could play a significant role in forming a low carbon transportation system. Coal and solar energy can power such a system allowing more of the carbon to be be integrated into the biofuels.
This is the presentation I provided at the Intelec show in Hamburg. It describes the use of fuel cells in powering the world's Telecommunication infrastructure.
