Fecundus - Advanced concepts and process schemes for CO2 free fluidised and entrained bed co-gasification of coals

01.07.2010 - 30.06.2013
Research funding project
The need to efficiently convert/upgrade coal and renewable fuels and to drastically reduce CO2 emissions calls for research in improving technologies of solid fuels to energy conversion. The project aims at integrating gasification schemes for the co-gasification of coal, biomass and wastes with processes for CO2 separation and capture. Fluidised bed and entrained flow gasification processes will be considered thanks to their flexibility and effectiveness for carrying out thermal conversion of different feedstock. Seven work-packages are foreseen dealing with management, outcomes dissemination, tailoring gasification schemes for integration with CO2 separation, development of materials for gas cleaning, char upgrading, and CO2 separation.
