OBJECTIVE :
- to establish a European network of active technology researchers
and developers of biomass pyrolysis processes and related technologies;
- to establish a forum for the discussion and exchange of information
on new scientific and technological developments on biomass pyrolysis
and related technologies between national programmes within the
EU and beyond; international programmes such as the IEA Bioenergy
Agreement, FAO and UN etc., EC sponsored researchers and private
companies and individuals;
- to review progress in technical areas of particular importance,
identify significant obstacles to their implementation and produce
authoritative reports for distribution,
- to encourage and provide for interaction by exchange of personnel,
information and ideas between laboratories and with industry to
improve the rate of development and knowledge base of relevant
technologies,
- to encourage the active involvement of industry in development
and exploitation of the R&D being undertaken,
- to establish a database of relevant activities for information
dissemination and improved cooperation,
- to disseminate information on individual activities from the
database and results of meetings and common research activities
by newsletter, reports and other publications, to those in the
network and other interested parties in regional, national and
international programmes.
Structure :
The network will be arranged into the following provisional specialist
groups under a convenor :
- Fast pyrolysis technologies for production of liquids,
- Analysis and characterisation of bio-oil,
- Liquid quality improvement,
- Production and recovery of chemicals,
- Utilisation of bio-oil for electricity and heat,
- System design and development
Each group will review the state of the art in its subject area,
examine opportunities for development and identify obstacles for
implementation. Additional or replacement topics may be added
later. Each topic will be covered by status reports, establishment
of a database, active evaluation of developments and R&D needs,
and identification of opportunities and obstacles for industrial
development and implementation.
Output :
The network will produce the following:
- a newsletter on current activities,
- a database of recent and current relevant activities,
- authoritative reviews of selected areas,
- meetings, forums and seminars,
- identification of opportunities for development and exploitation
of ongoing R&D.
The PyNE newsletter is published by the Energy Research Group, Aston University, UK.
