About this webinar
The horticultural sector must move away from fossil fuels for thermal energy to heat greenhouses. A popular clean energy technology in Europe is biomass combustion. Appropriate combustion equipment can also use high moisture biomass sourced from horticulture operations.
Carbon dioxide capture units produce CO2 from biomass combustion gasses into storage for distribution to enhance plant growth.
Application of Carbon dioxide, (CO2) captured from flue gas, (or purchased CO2), is well known by greenhouse operators to enhance plant growth. Whether CO2 capture is a part of an existing operation, or not, it will be important to consider the options available for integrated CO2 capture when moving to biomass fired energy plant.
High efficiency technologies are essential to increase the feasibility of greenhouse heating projects. Cogeneration, low temperature economisers, flue gas condensors, heat pumps and combustion air humidifiers increase output and reduce fuel input – which becomes important in terms of fuel saving when more biomass is used in the market and the price becomes higher.
The focus of this webinar will be to:
- Provide examples of CCU (carbon capture & utilisation) systems and high efficiency technologies in biomass energy plants used in horticulture heating in the Netherlands.
