Co-firing waste-derived torrefied biogenic fibre with coal

英国不得不制定一项国家战略，以满足欧盟减少进入垃圾填埋场的可生物降解固体废物（BioSW）数量的目标。到明年，与1995年的水平相比，英国必须将进入垃圾填埋场的BioSW水平降低35%。这意味着最多将有690万吨生物SW用于填埋。英国的表现很好，但仍需要进一步减少，目前BioSW占到了进入垃圾填埋场的城市固体废物的55 -75%。这种木质纤维素材料资源（如纸、纸板、木材和天然纤维）具有价值。该项目旨在开发一种技术，可以将生物SW分离和升级为商品燃料，可以出售给固体燃料用户，如燃煤发电站和家庭用户。商业可行性和温室气体减排都将被评估。项目的成功完成将为垃圾填埋或“废物能源化“提供一种替代技术，这将有助于英国实现其国家废物战略，达到欧盟的目标，并减少废物使用和电力生产对环境的影响。

The UK has had to develop a national strategy to meet EU targets for reducing the amount of biodegradablemunicipal solid waste (BioSW) going in to landfill. By next year, the UK must have reduced levels of BioSW goingto landfill by 35% compared to 1995 levels. This will mean a maximum of 6.9 million tonnes BioSW going tolandfill. The UK has performed well but further reductions are still required, and BioSW currently accounts for55-75% of the municipal solid waste going to landfill. This resource of lignocellulosic material (such as paper,cardboard, wood, and natural fibre) has a value. This project aims to develop a technology that can separateand upgrade the BioSW into a commodity fuel that can be sold to solid fuel users, such as coal-fired powerstations and domestic users. Both the commercial feasibility and the greenhouse gas emissions savings will beevaluated. Successful completion will deliver an alternative technology to landfill or "energy-from-waste"which will help the UK to deliver its national strategy on waste, meet EU targets, and reduce the environmentalimpact of waste use and power production.
