This week we signed the lease for the power plant at KTH Campus on Tuesday and on Thursday we started moving in and begun setting up our test rig!
We now have access to approx 280 m2 of floor area over 3 floors. A maximum ceiling height of 14 m and all the power and heat we can imagine! It also has a very tall chimney, more than 40m high!
Today marks a milestone in our company's history, our first employee!!
Chunguang Zhou, Chun for short, will be responsible for our gasification development and for beginning the build of our test lab at the power plant at KTH Campus.
Chun signing his employment contract!
We are happy to announce that Prof Oliver Paschereit at TU Belin has joined the company as co-founder. Oliver has been involved in the development of the BTC and TopCycle technologies for many years and we are thrilled that he has chosen to join in on this venture.
Oliver brings decades of gas turbine development experience and will be responsible for the combustion development for the process, working in close cooperation with TU Berlin and the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Technical Acoustics. Oliver will share his time between Phoenix and TU Berlin as of September 2018.
We are happy to announce that Phoenix BioPower has received 9.6 MSEK in support from the Swedish Energy Agency for Phase 1 in the BTC development program.
This is a key milestone in our journey to high efficiency biopower, giving us a stable platform to develop the core technologies from over the next year. We will have the privilege to execute this work together with KTH, Swerea, TU Berlin and Akademiska Hus, combining their expertise with critical input from our Reference Group of Stockholms Exergi, Svenska Kraftnät, Tekniska Verken och Sveaskog.

On Dec. 5, Energimyndigheten decided to fund a Feeder PoC project. The project budget is 2.25 MSEK and the funding from Energimyndigheten covers 70% of the budget.
The PoC (Proof of Concept) project will investigate the fuel feeding process, fuel behavior, time parameters, torrefaction, carbonization and gasification during pressurization with steam. The tests will be conducted at around 1/3-1/4 of industrial pressure.
The project has already been initiated at our facilities in Finspång with Hans-Erik Hansson as project leader. We expect initial results by end of Fabruary. The project duration is until September 2017.
Following the recent formation of Phoenix BioPower, the project will be carried out by the company Euroturbine. All results and IP rights will be transferred to Phoenix BioPower AB once completed. Euroturbine is a fully owned company by Mr Hans-Erik Hansson, one of the founders of Phoenix BioPower.
Pleas contact the company for more information.

In November of 2016 Phoenix BioPower was formed. It sets the starting point for the new development and commercialization of the BTC technology.
Phoenix BioPower will develop the BTC technology first invented by Mr Hans-Erik Hansson. The technology promises high efficiency power generation brom biomass using a high pressure process and massive steam injection.
Phoenix BioPower’s technology addresses directly 7 and indirectly 6 of the UN Global Goals for sustainable development.
