Expectations on the role of bioenergy in the renewable energy system and resulting energy and climate system services from bioenergy.
Opportunities for flexible bioenergy. The focus of the graphic is on energy services, visualized by green symbols for industry, transport and building heating. PV and wind power plants are shown symbolically in the top left-hand corner. Sustainable biomass raw materials are shown in the top right-hand corner. The integrated, renewable electricity system, symbolized by a green electricity pylon below the energy service symbols, will mainly serve to distribute PV and wind power and supply electrified industrial, transport and heating sectors in the future. However, the additional arrows are also exciting, on the one hand from the PV and wind power symbols directly to the end consumers via green hydrogen, on the other hand by means of storable biofuels and bioproducts, as well as the possibility of using hydrogen to increase the calorific value of biogenic energy sources, or also to produce hydrogen from biomass. The conversion of biomass into electricity is also possible, but this should be designed as flexibly as possible and the resulting CO2 must be sequestered, stored or used. Three thick arrows on the right-hand side illustrate three opportunities for flexible bioenergy: (1) The integration of a high proportion of PV and wind power into the energy system thanks to flexible balancing of volatilities. (2) The integration of green hydrogen based on the experience of chemical energy sources. (3) Negative CO2 emissions and carbon-neutral products.

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.
