Abstract

Worldwide primary energy needs are satisfied basically from non-renewable sources that are limited in supply and innately hazardous to the environment. Biomass-based power systems are very much potent to address the environmental issues fostering sustainable development, while being able to provide a secured and uninterrupted power supply at the same time. Biomass-based power generation systems not only reduce the GHG emissions but also have enormous opportunities of job creation and promote biomass re-growth through sustainable land management practices. This paper overviews the biomass scenario in Southeast Asian and EU countries to give an overview of the potential and scalable energy harnessed from biomass resources. Economic analyses presented on biomass gasification-based power generation have been evaluated with three specific cost estimations, namely low, average and high. Key economic performance metrics of biomass gasification-based dual-fuel internal combustion engine generator with low investment estimates are as follows: a positive net present value of USD 7.5 million; internal rate of return 14.45%; and a payback period of 5.45 years. A review of the technologies can provide a base for strategic energy policy for the next generation of sustainable energy policies and helps policymakers to frame strategies aiming for clean technology and sustainable development. Biomass integrated gasification combined cycle-based systems are found to be most suitable for power generation or biofuel synthesis.

利用生物质资源进行清洁发电的前景，进展，挑战和政策

摘要

基本上，全球的一次能源需求可以通过供应有限且天生对环境有害的不可再生资源来满足。基于生物质的电力系统非常有效地解决了促进可持续发展的环境问题，同时能够同时提供安全且不间断的电力供应。基于生物质的发电系统不仅减少了温室气体的排放，而且通过可持续的土地管理实践，也创造了巨大的就业机会并促进了生物质的再增长。本文概述了东南亚和欧盟国家的生物质情景，以概述利用生物质资源开发的潜在和可扩展能源。基于生物质气化发电的经济分析已通过三种具体的成本估算进行了评估，即低，平均和高。低投资估算的基于生物质气化的双燃料内燃机发电机的关键经济绩效指标如下：净现值为750万美元；内部收益率14.45％；投资回收期为5.45年。对技术的审查可以为下一代可持续能源政策的战略能源政策提供基础，并帮助政策制定者制定旨在清洁技术和可持续发展的战略。已发现生物质集成气化联合循环为基础的系统最适合发电或生物燃料合成。低投资估算的基于生物质气化的双燃料内燃机发电机的关键经济绩效指标如下：净现值为750万美元；内部收益率14.45％；投资回收期为5.45年。对技术的审查可以为下一代可持续能源政策的战略能源政策提供基础，并帮助决策者制定旨在清洁技术和可持续发展的战略。已发现生物质集成气化联合循环为基础的系统最适合发电或生物燃料合成。低投资估算的基于生物质气化的双燃料内燃机发电机的关键经济绩效指标如下：净现值为750万美元；内部收益率14.45％；投资回收期为5.45年。对技术的审查可以为下一代可持续能源政策的战略能源政策提供基础，并帮助决策者制定旨在清洁技术和可持续发展的战略。已发现生物质集成气化联合循环为基础的系统最适合发电或生物燃料合成。投资回收期为5.45年。对技术的审查可以为下一代可持续能源政策的战略能源政策提供基础，并帮助决策者制定旨在清洁技术和可持续发展的战略。已发现生物质集成气化联合循环为基础的系统最适合发电或生物燃料合成。投资回收期为5.45年。对技术的审查可以为下一代可持续能源政策的战略能源政策提供基础，并帮助决策者制定旨在清洁技术和可持续发展的战略。已发现生物质集成气化联合循环为基础的系统最适合发电或生物燃料合成。
