Technical-economic Studies of Bio-Waste Valorisation for Local Multi-Energy System

12 de novembro de 2020

Globally, substantial volumes of bio-waste are generated every day, causing severe environmental concerns, occupying soil, and demanding financial support for its management. An ingenious way of handling this bio-waste challenge is the expansion of modern and original methods focused on the alteration of these raw materials into value-added fuels. This work was conducted in the European Institute for Energy Research - a facility dedicated to energy subjects as well as the environment, and was motivated in order to research economic opportunities for investment in markets where energy costs and waste disposal costs are relatively high and where valorisation of bio-waste could be introduced. The work presents a choice of biogas digester for rural areas of French Guiana based on the MCA and the unit size based on the number of family members depending on the used feedstock. In addition, a business model of the pre-feasibility study for electricity production through rice husk gasification, was performed. Two models based on length of the rice mill operating hours were investigated and analysed.
