| Summary: | This handbook provides an overview of
the main topics that need consideration when managing the
supply of biomass to large biomass power plants. It will
help investors in China to develop, with assistance of local
biomass supply experts, their own solutions. The focus is on
biomass residues, in particular agricultural residues
(mainly straw and stalks) and forestry residues (mainly
residues from forestry operations). This handbook covers a
wide range of topics related to biomass fuel supply risk in
the planning and preparation stages for a biomass-fired
power plant. Chapter two introduces the use of biomass as an
energy source, including fuel selection considerations and
the fuel standards and specifications required to match a
particular fuel supply to a power generation system. Chapter
three describes the use of biomass resource assessments at
the project planning stage. Chapters four and five give
insight into the biomass supply from straw and forestry
residues, respectively. Finally, fuel supply management is
covered in chapter six, which addresses the topics to be
considered both at the plant planning stage and at the
operational stage. It describes a methodological approach
for fuel inspection and quality control, as well as an
instrument for assessing fuel supply risks and developing
mitigation strategies. |
