Waste gasification in Lahti

100 kilometers north of Helsinki, Finland, in the city of Lahti, is the world’s first eco-gas fueled power plant. Lahti Energy’s Kymijärvi II power plant runs on SRF.The plant produces 50 MW of electricity and 90 MW of district heat for the city of Lahti. It was officially inaugurated in May of 2012.

The bioliq® pilot plant

The bioliq® pilot plant covers the complete process chain required for producing customized fuels from residual biomass. Power and heat als the by-products and cover the own demand of the facility. For energy densification of the biomass, fast pyrolysis is applied. The liquid pyrolysis oil and solid char obtained can be processed into intermediate fuels of high energy density. Fuel and chemicals production from syngas requires high pressures. Therefore, syngas production is already performed at pressures up to 80 bar by entrained flow gasification. Gas cleaning and conditioning are conducted at the same pressure at high temperatures allowing for optimal heat recovery and thus improved energy efficiency. In the bioliq® pilot plant the purified syngas is firstly converted into dimethyl ether and then further to gasoline.

Visit by Task 32 experts to Arbaflame (Norway)

As part of the task meeting in spring 2019, the experts from Task 32 visited the Arbaflame production site in Grasmo (Norway).

Steam Explosion plant of Arbaflame in Grasmo (Norway)

The ArbaOne plant in Grasmo, outside Kongsvinger, Norway, is the first large-scale commercial plant with an annual production capacity of 70,000 tonnes of steam-exploded pellets.

Thermally treated wood pellets

Thermally treated wood pellets (steam exploded) are used in a slightly adapted former coal-fired power plant in Thunder Bay (Canada) as a new climate-friendly fuel for electricity generation.

Methods

Set of methods to classify the type of activity of TCP Tasks and Annexes.

Graph Datastructure

Graphbased datastructure of the open access IEA-TCP dataset.

Visualisation of TCPs

After selecting a topic (in this example "Electricity transmission and distribution" was selected), this graph shows all tasks (activities) focussing on the selected topic. The topics are structured according to the IEA energy RD&D budget/expenditure statistics. Additionally, you can see the related Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs). Activities which had been ongoing in Summer 2020 from all IEA-TCPs are covered in this analysis. You can re-arrange the different bubbles to better meet the needs of your analysis. If a TCP consists of more than one task (activity), it also contains one entry in the database labelled “ExCo-Activities”.

R&D Map

Visualisation of all ongoing Tasks and Annexes ("Activities") and their respective research topics.

IEA-TCP Graph: Visualization of all nodes and edges in the IEA-TCP data model

Size of the nodes corresponds to the number of connections, color to the type of node (see legend).

Participation of countries in IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes and Related Research Topics

Absolute (upper chart) and relative (lower chart) number of TCP-activities that countries are participating in. The color code shows how the assigned activities are related to the IEA-Topics and how the countries set their priorities with regard to the research topics (based on the IEA RD&D taxonomy).

International cooperations of Austria in context of TCP activities.

Worldmap of Austrias cooperations with other countries in context of the IEA Technology Collaboration Program reasearch activities. Line thickness indicates the number of cooperations.

Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities

A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.
