Biomass use at Vattenfall
Biomass at Vattenfall has a long history of working with biomass in producing heat and electricity and plans to increase co-firing of biomass in coal power plants to reduce fossil emissions of CO 2. Vattenfall has currently more than 40 heat and power plants fuelled in full or in part by biomass. uses more than 3 million tonnes of biomass per year, an amount that is steadily increasing. intends to allocate significant resources and efforts to build a substantial, highly reliable and sustainable biomass supply chain. is one of the world s leading companies in the sector. 6 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D.

Biomass Co-firing CHP Moabit
Project Motivation Climate protection agreement between the city state of Berlin and Vattenfall, signed on 8 October 2009 Agreement about sustainable procurement of wood was signed on 15 th April 2011 Moabit s Wood Co-Firing impact on the commitment is shown in the chart below: Forecast of Vattenfall s CO2 emissions in Berlin ~ 1.2 mln t CO 2 current forecast target Moabit can deliver a CO 2 reduction up to 250.000 t/a from 2014 (Commercial Operation date) on 13 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D.

Security of wood chips delivery for Moabit Supply of wood chips is only possibly by barges due to the permitting process 100 % of wood chips (265,000 t/a, approx. 40 % water content) can be provided by local sourcing, with possibility of the use of forest residues (tops and branches) and logs Additional international volumes could be provided For a secured supply of local wood chips, a hub (for transfer of local wood chips in barges) is necessary 14 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D.

Biomass handling and storage in a former turbine hall 38 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D. Seibt
Temporary Storage Biomass flow will be divided into two flows in the receiving area of the former turbine hall 1) direct supply of the CFB Boiler (180 m³/h) 2) storage of the remaining biomass (320 m³/h) Full automatic crane will be used for fuel handling - Storage - Removal from storage - Relocating of biomass inside the storage Storage area is divided into Sections each Section consist of 6 Fields 39 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D. Seibt
Temporary Storage The full automatic crane is capable to time-staple the stored biomass => possibility to demonstrate to the authority the storage period of max. 1 week Removal of biomass according to the boiler demand and the FIFO principle (storage period max. 7 days) Monitoring of the storage area by Infrared (IR ) camera and selective removal of biomass with a temperatures > 60 C 40 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D. Seibt
Fire Protection Main focus: Construction of biomass plant in the area of the existing plant requires different adjustment in inventory (expansion of fire monitoring, fire protection roof of machine hall) Monitoring of temporary storage with IR cameras and specification of alarm temperatures Installation of spray levels divided into sections above biomass storage Automatic spraying units in the tunnel area and from conveyor bridge to feed regulating Dry extinguishing system along the pocket belt conveyor, in the building of coarse grain resistance and in machine hall Installation of combustion gas detectors and expansion of fire detection system 42 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D. Seibt
Fire Protection IR Monitoring 1. Alarm temperature t > 60 C - relevant area of biomass storage is to be fed to co-firing immediately Exemplary visual analysis of IR measurement 2. Alarm temperature t > 75 C - relevant area is to be cooled down and subsequently fed to co-firing - targeted monitoring by operator 43 Biomass and Waste co-combustion at Vattenfall - Dr. D. Seibt
