Abstract

A transition towards synthetic fuels such as synthetic natural gas (SNG) is a requirement that can contribute to future energy security and sustainable development. Conventional coal gasification could be replaced with biomass gasification to produce synthetic natural gas that can be used in existing natural gas distribution infrastructure, transport, domestic and industrial sectors with almost no or little modifications. This study evaluates the integration of synthetic natural gas production using biomass gasification with combined heat and power plant (CHP). Various system performance indicators are used for comparing different systems such as carbon conversion, energy efficiencies, economic feasibility and commercial viability of technologies. For the evaluation of studied system, 100 MW of dried biomass is used as input for synthetic natural gas production together with power and district heating. The results obtained by integration of process showed a substantial synthetic natural gas production potential i.e. about 74.3 MW based on 100 MW biomass input. The process heat requirement of the system is about 26.60 MW and 0.60 MW for electrification. The results indicate that 27.35 MW heat is available for district heating and about 3.4 MW net amount of heat is available for power production by organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The results also show that the system is 74.3 efficient based on lower heating value. Poly generation concept of SNG production along with power and district heating system claims its economic viability. © 2016, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l.
