Other topics to be addressed include:

  • How CFB technology takes advantage of the global coal fuel arbitrage

  • The substantial reductions of CO2 emissions realized by co-firing biomass & utilizing domestic fuel supply chains

  • Proven CFB installations utilizing biomass co-firing over a wide range of capacities

    • Samcheok Green Power Project, Korea (4 X 550 MWe Ultrasupercritical)

    • Dominion Virginia City (US) Hybrid Energy Center (2 X 335 MWe)

    • Fortum Heat Polska CHP Zabrze, Poland (203 MWth/75 MWe)

    • Jyväskylän Energia Oy CHP, Jyväskylä, Finland (480 MWth/200 MWe)

    • GS E&C, Dangjin Korea 105 MWe

In this informative webinar, Teemu Nevalainen, Chief Engineer, Conceptual Design at Sumitomo SHI FW, will discuss how CFB technology with biomass co-firing can achieve affordable and reliable carbon neutral power. The webinar will also discuss CFB’s capability to co-fire a wide range of biomass fuels with coal, up to 100% biomass, providing an economical, reliable and carbon emission reducing strategy for power producers. As biomass utilization is expected to increase worldwide, the webinar will discuss how biomass use can be balanced to produce affordable, reliable and low carbon power  without overburdening local biomass supply chains. 

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • What is the combustion efficiency comparison between PC and CFB for bituminous coal?

  • Does CFB afford any advantage for reducing mercury emissions? (No WFGD to remove oxidized species?)

  • For a 200 MW CFB plant, how much lead time should be allowed (NTP to commissioning)?

  • What is the minimum heating value (kcal/kg) of coal fired in your CFBC boiler?

  • Can the CFB burn agricultural straw products such as bagasse, rice straw, wheat straw, and cane trash?

  • What is the capability of CFB to respond to daily load fluctuations from 30% to full load? (Capability to operate as a non-base unit?)

  • What is the optimal particle size? Is it a function of volatiles?
