The increased use of renewable energy sources is a key issue for many countries. For example, the European Union has set a target to double the share of renewable energy in the European Primary Energy Supply from a level of 6% in 1997 to 12% by 2010. Biomass is one of the most important sources of renewable energy and its contribution to this end may be significant. The use of biomass reduces the dependency on fossil fuels and contributes to the security of the fuel supply by using indigenous fuel. It also provides savings from decreasing or eliminating landfill costs and possible tax credits.
Wood chips and other low grade wood wastes are the major type of biomass fuel. Wood chips are cut according to the sizes ordered by the buyers and they are dishydrated through. Wood residues from pulp and paper manufacturing, lumber mills, and other industrial wood users are frequently used for producing biomass electricity. Hundreds of biomass fuel systems are currently at work in different parts of Brazil heating schools, government complexes, and entire city downtowns, as well as producing renewable electricity. Wood Chip is readily available and cheaper than mains gas and oil. Wood Chip is a renewable energy source. Wood Chip combustion is carbon neutral. Wood Fuel heating systems can be fully automated. Wood Fuel heating systems convert 90% of the fuel into usable heat energy.
Why Use Waste Wood Chips? Waste wood is plentiful and available from several sources in the area. Wood chips mix and burn well with coal in the plant’s boilers. Waste wood biomass has great environmental benefits. Waste wood chips can be used at a cost slightly less than coal on an equivalent BTU basis. Replacing a portion of coal with wood chips invests part of MU’s fuel.
What are the benefits of using wood chips? Reduce emissions from the MU Power Plant (like sulfur dioxide) by approximately 4 per cent. Reduction of ash for removal. Lower greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide). Reduce the formation of methane, a very harmful greenhouse gas, by not allowing the waste wood to naturally decompose.
