Co-combustion and The Effective Utilization of Renewable Fuels Using CFB Combustion Technology

摘要

For the prevention of global warming, the effective utilization of renewable fuels such as biomass for power utility is focused for an alternative to fossil fuels. Conversely, utilizing those fuels for power utility is restricted by problems in both quantity and quality. Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) has developed an advanced co-combustion technology for renewable fuel utilization, which is based on the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler technology licensed by Foster Wheeler. The advanced technology is capable of utilizing renewable fuels with various customers requests. This paper describes SHI's advanced co-combustion technology and contribution to the prevention of global warming with our experiences.
