18 Driving forces ü Replace fossil based small scale CHP alternatives ü Great business opportunities in small scale CHP (<~30 MW) with simple technology ü Most of installed small scale systems deliver only heat and steam but no power. ü In Sweden there are 130 district heating providers at more then 580 locations 18

19 PRODUCTION OF PYROLYSIS OIL IN A CYCLONE REACTOR Vision Pyrolysis oil from biomass produced in a cyclone reactor is a renewable fuel that can be used as substitute for fossil fuels in furnaces, gas turbines and vehicles 19

20 What is pyrolysis oil Rapid heating to C Short residence time 2-3 s Rapid quenching to condense pyrolysis oil Separate particles Energy Technology Centre
