New patent published!

Yesterday, February 28, was a good day, our latest patent was made public!
Our own hybrid gasification technology patent was made public yesterday.

The technology has been developed to handle the consequences of high pressure gasification in a fluidized bed. The pressure affects the geometry, gas viscosity and particle behavior and with this technology, we adress these challenges for an optimized gasifier for pressurized conditions. The gasifier will be integrated with a gas turbine for the BTC plant for high efficiency biopower but can also work as a stand-alone unit for production of renwable industrial gases for industries, like green H2, green CH4 and green CO2.

Great job Chunguang Zhou and Michael Bartlett, inventors of the technology!

The publication came almost to the day one year after it was submitted.

New project funding granted by Swedish Energy Agency

On Friday 21 October the Company received a decision from the Swedish Energy Agency to grant a new project called "BioPower2023", which we will execute with our research partners at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden KTH Royal Institute of Technology and our Industrial Reference Group, including Drax Group.

We are especially happy to note that a part of the Agency's motivation to grant the project is that

"The BTC concept is judged to have the potential to contribute to the Swedish #energytransition, where electricity production from biomass will play an important role. Furthermore, the Swedish Energy Agency assesses that the chances of implementation are good as the actor constellation consists of relevant actors who actively contribute to the project."

The project shall continue the development of the novel BTC technology with our partners. In particular, we shall validate key capabilities of the combustion and gasification technologies for robust and flexible operations with low quality fuels. Further, two pre-feasibility studies for demonstration plants operating with mixtures of waste wood and forest residues (Sweden) and energy crops (UK) will be done with some of the world's largest #biopower utilities.

Our humble thanks to the Swedish Energy Agency for your continued support of our development towards high efficiency biopower.

Successful integrated operation at our testrig

On Thursday 20 October, the company executed the first successful integrated commissioning test of the integrated Scarlett rig. In this test, solid biomass was gasified, cooled, cleaned and then combusted in a gas turbine combustion chamber, where combustion was achieved using 100 % syngas from gasified biomass.

This test is our first practical test in proving the BTC process of using solid biomass to fuel a gas turbine. In coming tests, the company will add steam and also work with various fules and fuel mixes to identify boundaries and performances of the technology. Hydrogen will also be tested in 2023.

Watch the video below where 100 % syngas is being combusted in ur combustion chamber.

New patent to be granted

The Company has received notice form the Swedish Patent & Registration Office that they intend to grant a patent for our application regarding the novel hybrid gasification technology, HFB. A great milestone for the company’s development and technology platform.

The HFB gasification technology addresses the challenges on pressurized gasification on medium scale, 20-200 MWf, regarding particle behavior and geometry, combining properties from both bubbling fluidized bed gasification and circulating fluidized bed gasification.

First Fire!

On Wednesday 22 June we had a great day and succeeded in achieving first fire in our combustion rig at our facilities in Stockholm.

The combustion rig is part of our integrated gasification and combustion rig for atmospheric integrated tests that we have been building the past year. In this rig, we will be able to test both gasified biomass of different kinds (bio-syngases), but also Hydrogen. For the first fire, we used LPG. The complete rig, which we amicably call Scarlett, will be providing significant operational experiences in integrated operation of gasification, gas clean-up, steam injection and combustion. We will also be measuring contents of the syngases produced and post-combustion emissions.

As we now have succeeded in first fire of the combustion rig, our attention now turns to the gasifier. Looking forward to seeing it operate.

BioFlexGen - Making the Green Deal real!

The renewable energies Project Bio-FlexGen has kicked off!

BFG logo.png

 Bio-FlexGen is an EU-funded Research and Innovation Action (RIA) project. 14 partners from five countries (Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Spain and Germany) will collaboratively work for a decarbonised future. Susanne Paulrud from the Swedish research organization RISE coordinates the 36 months project.

Decarbonising the energy system
The global demand for energy is constantly increasing. That´s why renewable sources are crucial for a decarbonised future. Bio-FlexGen will develop an optimised combination of bioenergy with green hydrogen providing secure and plannable sources for power and heat. This will complement intermittent renewable sources such as wind and sun. Bio-FlexGen will also increase the efficiency and flexibility of renewable combined heat and power (CHP), playing a key role in the energy system integration. Moreover, Bio-FlexGen will combine gasification and gas turbine technology.

Meeting the demands
Due to the high efficiency, three times more power can be generated from biomass for the same heat load. Starting and operating on 100% green hydrogen, the CHP-plant can quickly achieve full load. To meet fluctuations in seasonal energy demands and prices, there will be a variant of the plant. It adapts to long periods of low electricity prices or heat demand by producing climate-positive green hydrogen.

Cost-efficient and robust
The Bio-FlexGen approach is highly efficient – both energetically and economically. Engineers will develop a power plant with a unique combination of gasification and gas turbine technology that allows the plant to utilise hydrogen for fast dispatch and biomass for low operating costs over time. Green hydrogen is an energy carrier to stabilise electrical grids. It is generated through solar or wind energy.

Innovation: flexible combined heat and power
Compared with thermal power stations, the Bio-FlexGen power plant will generate electricity and heat from biomass, with a much higher electricity efficiency. The Bio-FlexGen power plant will operate with up to 100% green hydrogen – thus enabling higher flexibility of renewable energy sources. Bio-FlexGen researchers will, among others, develop a novel combustion chamber. This enables the gas turbine combustion system to adjust to changing compositions of bio-syngas and the hydrogen.

That´s a real big (green) deal!

PHOENIX BIOPOWER EXPLORES NEXT GENERATION BECCS TECHNOLOGY FOR DRAX GROUP

Phoenix BioPower’s study will investigate how the latest energy efficient turbine technology could reduce the costs of new build bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) plants.

Phoenix BioPower and renewable energy company Drax Group, a global leader in sustainable biomass power generation, are exploring ways to drive down the costs of second-generation bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology.

The feasibility study by Phoenix BioPower will look at how energy-efficient gas turbines could make new-build BECCS projects more cost effective by generating 50% more power with the same amount of fuel, when powering a 300MWe biomass plant with integrated carbon capture and storage.

The innovative top cycle turbines are up to 15 percentage points more efficient with BECCS than existing technologies used in power stations and could also be used with other renewable technologies, to support decarbonising energy systems globally.

Henrik Båge, CEO of Phoenix Biopower said: “Working alongside Drax, a global leader in sustainable biomass power generation and BECCS, gives us an exciting opportunity to explore the next generation of negative emissions technologies together with our high-efficiency biopower technology. We look forward to working with the world-class engineers at Drax on this study to further develop these essential technologies.”

By integrating pressurized biomass gas into the turbine, instead of high-pressure steam, Biomass-fired Top Cycle turbines can almost double of the electrical efficiency from biomass compared to the traditional steam cycle.

The study will also investigate how the biomass-fired top cycle gas turbines can be utilised for other renewable technologies such as hydrogen combustion and production. The study will be based on results from Phoenix’s test facilities in Sweden and Germany.

Drax is already the largest decarbonisation project in Europe having converted its power station near Selby in North Yorkshire to use sustainable biomass instead of coal. By using the vital negative emissions technology BECCS at the site, Drax aims to go further, by becoming a carbon negative company by 2030.

Jason Shipstone, Drax Group Chief Innovation Officer, said: “Negative emissions technologies such as BECCS will play a crucial role in the global fight against climate change and at Drax we’re planning to install this technology at our existing power station in the UK.

 

“This partnership with Phoenix BioPower is one of a number of options we’re investigating as part of our long-term innovation programme, which will enable Drax to understand the potential of future technological advances, so we can continue to innovate, develop and grow as a business.”

Editor’s Notes

The work by Phoenix BioPower with Drax will:

  • Develop a feasibility study to identify how biomass-fired top cycle turbines can be integrated into new build BECCS power stations.

  • The study will be based on results from two of Phoenix Biopower’s test sites in Sweden (biomass gasification) and Germany (ultra-wet gas turbine combustion) and will create a model based on data provided by both companies.

  • The study will also investigate how gas turbines can also be utilised for other renewable technologies such as hydrogen combustion and production.

 

About BECCS at Drax:

  • Drax aims to deploy BECCS on two of its biomass generating units by 2030 capturing and permanently storing up to eight million tonnes of CO2 a year – a significant proportion of the negative emissions the Climate Change Committee says are needed in order for the UK to reach its climate targets.

  • The IPCC, UK Climate Change Committee and National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios report all recognise the vital role biomass and BECCS will play in the UK meeting its legally binding net zero by 2050 target.

  • The government’s legally binding commitment to cut emissions by 78% by 2035, in line with the Climate Change Committee’s 6th carbon budget advice, also reinforces the vital role of BECCS to delivery net zero in the UK.

  • BECCS is the only negative emissions technology that generates power whilst also permanently removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


About Phoenix BioPower

Phoenix BioPower, founded in 2016, develops a new technology for high efficiency biopower and a novel gas turbine cycle for ultra-wet combustion enabling the energy transition to plannable renewables and utility scale negative emissions.

The BTC technology

The biopower technology, BTC – Biomass-fired Top Cycle, is based on the integration of pressurized biomass gasification and gas turbine combustion, enabling a near doubling of the electrical efficiency from biomass compared to the traditional steam cycle. The company targets to commission a first full-scale plant by end of 2028.

The Top Cycle gas turbine

The novel gas turbine technology Top Cycle is based on the principle of replacing excess air with steam, enabling higher power generation capabilities at lower CAPEX and high value waste heat to be used for other purposes, like CCS or District Heating, without affecting the power cycle.

The ultra-wet conditions in combustion enable very low NOx emissions, especially with Hydrogen combustion, and very stable flame conditions.

Phoenix BioPower i korthet

Phoenix BioPower arbetar för att möta framtidens utmaningar i energiomställningen genom att utveckla teknik för planerbar och förnybar kraftproduktion. För att uppnå detta utvecklar Phoenix BioPower ny teknik inom högeffektiv biokraft, BTC, samt en ny gasturbinteknik för hög effektivitet och bränsleflexibilitet, Top Cycle. BTC tekniken, Biomass-fired Top Cycle är en teknik för förgasning av biomassa integrerad med gasturbinförbränning. Tekniken kan fördubbla det elektriska utbytet från bränslet jämfört med traditionella tekniker. Gasturbintekniken Top Cycle bygger på att ersätta överskottsluft med ånga tillsammans med högt förbränningstryck. Detta ger en gasturbin som är bränsleflexibel, idealisk för vätgas samt effektiv. Både BTC och Top Cycle fungerar för kraftvärme och har överlägsna prestanda vid koldioxidinfångning, CCS.

Successful pure hydrogen combustion tests!

In June, Phoenix BioPower conducted a series of combustion tests at the TU Berlin test rig for different fuels and fuel blends led by Felix Güthe of Phoenix BioPower and Simeon Dybe of TUB.

Pure hydrogen flame with ~50% steam.

Pure hydrogen flame with ~50% steam.

One key outcome was to verify that pure hydrogen can be used in our combustion system with near-zero NOx emissions (<1ppm), no CO emissions, and therefore, with just steam as the combustion product. That is about as clean as combustion can be!

In addition, we also verified successful shifts between different fuels while in operation; i.e. the combustion system can switch from natural gas to syngas to hydrogen without blow-out or emissions related issues and with a stable flame throughout transition. The tests were conducted at atmospheric conditions with full-scale burner and across a wide operating envelope to capture true engine performance.

With this effort, we have now shown three key advantages of our Phoenix Advanced Combustion System (PACS): safe operation with hydrogen over a wide range of operating points, much lower NOx emissions than conventional systems, and extreme fuel flexibility. We are therefore confident that our technology will be ideal for utilizing renewable fuels, such as gasified biomass residues and pure hydrogen, in the future energy system.

In the coming project “PACS 2020”, which will run from 2020-2023 and is co-funded by Eurostars, the burner and system will be further developed towards a commercial product, with medium-pressure testing and detailed optimization in focus.

Exciting times ahead!

First EU funded project approved!

In June 2020, the company received approval for an application to the Eurostars program for a new project called PACS, Phoenix Advanced Combustion System.

The objective for the project is to develop and validate the world’s first prototype of the Phoenix Advanced Combustion System (PACS) with ultra-low emissions and ultra-high fuel flexibility. The PACS shall be validated first at atmospheric pressures, and then at pressure, for use with climate-neutral fuels like gasified biomass or natural gas and hydrogen mixtures. Further the project will prepare for market entry and integration in the full-scale Top Cycle gas turbine.

PACS is at the heart of a new platform for decarbonized electricity and heat production called the Top Cycle gas turbine. This platform provides local, plannable and low-emissions energy at levelized cost of electricity up to 40% lower than conventional fossil-based plants. For operators, a significantly more profitable asset is achieved, and for society, a more cost-effective path to climate-neutrality is possible.

The project will be executed in partnership with TU Berlin, KTH and BIT, a German technology development SME working closely with TU Berlin. The total project budget is 1.7 M€ and total grants from Eurostars is 1M€. Phoenix’ part has a budget of ~730 K€ with 50 % funding from the program.

This is the first EU backed project that the company has received approval for and marks a milestone in our development road as we now have dedicated resources for combustion development during 2020-2022.
