Abstract

A promising route to achieve CO₂ reduction is to use short cycle carbon containing fuels, which can be classified as secondary fuels. These fuels have the potential to replace fossil fuels but operational and environmental problems may dramatically affect the combustion system. To focus on the problem of secondary fuel application, detailed advance knowledge of these fuels' typical combustion behaviour is required. The objective of this project is to provide simple, capable test methods, which give more insight into the fate of secondary fuel combustion in power plants.

The achievement of gaining this knowledge on the preparation and combustion characteristics of secondary fuels is pre-competitive and can be used by any power plant operator or manufacturer in Europe.

Consortium

With 16 partners (as listed below) from eight European countries this programme covers a wide range of fossil fuel applications in utilities throughout Europe and can be used as an input to other EU projects on alternative fuels.
