Abstract
Biomass moved a key step toward competitiveness with fossil fuels in a landmark event in 1995, the groundbreaking for adding a facility to the McNeil Generating Station, a 12-year-old biomass power plant in Burlington, Vermont. When completed, this facility will house the world's first gasifier capable of burning biomass to fuel an unmodified natural gas turbine-generator for electric powergeneration. This article gives a brief overview of biomass-to-electricity systems, and discusses the technical and economic details of the Battelle/FERCO gasifier system. Contact (e-mail): [email protected]
