  • Bioliquids and their use in power generation : a technology review [Elektronski vir]
    Seljak, Tine, strojnik ...
    The first EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) served as an effective push for world-wide research efforts on biofuels and bioliquids (liquid fuels for energy purposes other than for transport, ... including electricity and heating and cooling, produced from biomass). On 21.12.2018 the new RED II has been published on the Official Journal of the European Union. It is thus now the right time to provide a comprehensive overview of achievements and practices that were developed within the current perspective. The present study thus focuses on a comprehensive and systematic technical evaluation of all key aspects of different distributed energy generation pathways using bioliquids as energy carriers in reciprocating engines and micro gas turbines. Originating from analyses of feedstock and fuel processing as well as fuel properties, utilisation of fuels is highlighted in reciprocating engines and micro gas turbines considering fuel property specific challenges, required engine adaptation and durability culminating in analyses of engine performance and emissions. In addition, innovative proposals for further technical improvements in the whole chain from energy carrier production which serves as a guideline for future research and development activities in the fast-growing area of bioliquids.
