The document describes a wood gasification generation facility located in Thornloe, Ontario that produces clean energy from wood biomass. It uses advanced German-engineered gasification technology to convert wood into a pure wood gas to generate electricity onsite. Additionally, the excess heat is captured and can be used for industrial processes or district heating. The facility aims to provide renewable and sustainable energy while reducing dependence on fossil fuels and carbon emissions.

WOOD GASIFICATION GENERATION
FACILITY
Taking Clean Energy Forward
Our Wood Gasification Generation Facility
contributes to a sustainable balance
between economic productivity, socially
responsible power consumption,
politically charged renewable energy
policies, and environmental concerns
over the necessity for reducing carbon
dioxide emissions by nation and per
capita. We believe that the GREC way
is part of the solution to provide clean
energy to the world without destroying
our planet.

The Current Situation
Here in Canada the use of forest products have been fundamental to the
creation and growth of our country since colonial times. Our forests have been
used to provide building materials and heat for all Canadians and are exported
around the globe.
How to make use of this potential energy?
The answer is a GREC-BioCHP wood gasification generation facility with the latest
technology. Our generation facility transforms wood into a pure wood gas which
is harnessed in two ways. First, the pure wood gas is used to drive an engine for
the generation of electricity.
Second, the heat generated from our process, and recovery from the generation
of electricity, is captured and directed into a heat recovery system that can be
used for industrial processes or residential district heating.
During this long history forestry practices
have evolved into a modern
sustainable system. Our product is used
today to provide both electricity and
heat from sustainable forestry reducing
our dependence on and use of
traditional fossil fuels.
Our product has the added benefit of
being able to mix lower value portions
of the total forest biomass (not currently
be used in other forest products
industries) into our feedstock. Thus
ensuring the best use of our precious
natural resources.

3. The benefits of energy production
using wood GASIFICATION at a glance:
For the environment:
• Active environmental protection through the use of renewable energy
Added benefit of using “waste” forest biomass
• Energy use is CO2 neutral
• No risk to future generations
• Compliance with the Kyoto Agreement: CO2 reduction and increasing the
share of Renewable Energy to 12.5%
For the customer:
• The electricity produced can be used onsite or fed into the public grid under
a FIT program or long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
• Feedstock drying is integrated into the overall system letting you use green
wood
• Heat can be used on site or directed to a district heating system for
commercial or residential uses
• Modular system can be installed to supply supplemental energy requirements
up to a total “Energy Island” solution
For the society:
• Participation in environmental protection through the use of electricity and
heat from renewable energy
• Independence from continually rising prices of oil and gas
• Energy security through the use of local sustainable feedstock

4. Development of wood gas technology
Wood gasification goes back to Georges Christian Peter Imbert, who created a
fixed bed reactor back in the 1920s. Wood gasification saw wider use for
motorized vehicles during the 1940’s fuel shortages.
After over 10 years of hard work, Erwin Schiefer has succeeded to develop a
fixed-bed gasifier under the brand name "XYLOGAS" for the European market. The
prototype has generated output of 220kW electrical and is still going strong after
48,000 hours of operation.
Our Technology Partner XYLOGAS®
The dream commercial wood gas in
recent years has been pursued by many
worldwide research institutions, businesses,
developers and hobbyists. However,
almost all of the complex requirements of
the wood gas production and cleaning
have failed.
The 10+ years of development, and over
€1.5 million invested, has paid off with the
creation of the world’s finest Combined
Heating and Power system. No one else
on the planet has demonstrated the
consistent operational use of 8,000 hours
per year.

5. the HGKW in Bad Wildungen
In July 2010, XYLOGAS® mission to clean up the wood gas power plant (HGKW)
Bad Wildungen was accepted. There are 2 lines with a capacity of 220kWel each.
The first line went into operation in June 2011 and has passed the test.

Future use of wood gas technology
Demand for this technology currently continues to grow. Rising energy costs
continue to push profitability away from business. Public demand for the
reduction of
traditional fossil fuels continues to grow. Government funding for “first round”
green energy has been used or is being clawed back exposing those projects to
Our wood gasification generation facility uses1kg of dry wood to generate 1.2kW
of electricity and 2.4kW of thermal energy.
GREC-BioCHP stands for quality and reliability at the highest level. Nothing is left
to chance. Our network of companies are actively competent to be the best
during the implementation of your project.

8. The process chain starts with the storage and drying of wood chips in our purpose
built warehouse. Feedstock is then transported by conveyor into our drying
system. After the drying cycle it is conveyed directly to the wood gasification unit.
Process Overview
Here the wood through our thermo-chemical reaction process passes through
three phases (Pyrolysis, Oxidation, Reduction) and is converted into pure wood
gas.
A wash system and a filter provide a final cleaning before the pure wood gas
enters the prime mover engine. The prime mover engine drives the generator and
produces electricity. The thermal energy generated is available for use onsite or
can be fed into district heating networks.
