Pulverized Biomass Fired Boiler Technology

Overview

With the growing interest in global warming, renewable energy sources, which contribute to low carbonization and decarbonization, have been expanding across the globe in recent years. Among renewable energy sources, biomass power generation system can serve as a stable and adjustable power source with a large capacity and can help to reduce CO2 emissions in thermal power plants from the aspect of a carbon neutrality concept.

In response to such situation, Mitsubishi Power has developed high efficiency 100% biomass firing power generation system by applying the biomass pulverization/ combustion/ ash deposition prevention technology, which is based on 112 MW class coal and biomass co-firing power plants experiences in Japan and biomass firing experiences in which our group company Mitsubishi Power Europe GmbH (MHPS-EDE) took part.
