High-temperature storage tanks at 160 °C ensure heat supply at night

The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 in Seville with a tour of Europe's largest solar process heat plant

The final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 took place in Seville. Europe's largest solar process heat plant was visited as part of the meeting. It was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

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.

CHP biomass gasification facility in Frauenfeld

In Frauenfeld in Switzerland, the biggest SynCraft project was realised. it is 4xCW1800x2-1000 CHP facility, which delivers power and heat for about 8000 households as well as sugar-production factory and Frauenfeld town.

SynCraft - CHP in Ternitz

In September 2019 the construction of CHP facility CW1200-400 was started by company KWS Ökokraft GmbH. Despite Covid-pandemic the facility operation was started in July 2020.

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.
