Renewable Energy

To combat climate change and to increase the share of renewable energy sources biomass will play an important role. role. However, it has to be assured that the increase in use of biomass for energy purposes goes hand in hand with the conservation of biodiversity environment, because biomass production may create additional environmental pressures, such as on biodiversity, soil and water resources. resources. The optimisation of all steps from biomass cultivation or collection over transport and processing may contribute to get the maximum greenhouse gas emissions reductions and to reduce emissions affecting air quality. quality. Surveys in different EU countries have shown that electricity from biomass is not necessarily perceived as 'green'. 'green'. Awareness of bioenergy or biomass is generally rather low and wind energy or solar power are the main types of energy identified as renewable energies by a wider public. public. Compared to those homogenous energy sources, the range of available fuels and feeding material which we encounter in the bioenergy sector may also be perceived in remarkably different ways. ways. While some fuels may be seen as clean others may be perceived as dirty fuels (e (e..g. waste). waste). However, this separation is not always as expected, because in countries with little forest areas the use of waste for bioenergy may be more accepted than the idea of cutting trees (Rohracher et al al.. 2004) 2004). The progress has been made, the 2010 target of 21 % renewable electricity for EU corresponding to 22. 22.1 % for EU EU15 15 will not be achieved under current policies and measures. measures. Instead, currently implemented policies will probably result in a share of between 18 % and 19 % in 2010 2010.. In total, renewable energy accounted for about 15. 15.2 % of total electricity generation in 2002. 2002. It has been identified that the main reason why the target is not being achieved is because the production of electricity from biomass has not been as high as initially foreseen To ensure that biomass will contribute in the planned way to achieve the renewable energy goals for 2010 the European Commission presented an Biomass Action Plan4 Plan4 in December 2005. 2005. This action plan sets out measures to increase the development of biomass energy from wood, wastes and agricultural crops by creating marketmarket-based incentives to its use and removing barriers to the development of the market. market. A variety of studies have proven the available potential of biomass in the European Union as well as in the OECD (Siemons et al al.. 2004, 2004, Thrän et al al.. 2004, 2004, Bauen et al al.. 2004, 2004, EEA 2005) 2005). Some data shall be provided in the following to get an idea about what are the most important biomass sources of the future. future. The project 'Bio'Bio-Energy's role in the EU Energy Market' (Siemons et al al.. 2004) 2004) found a total availability of biomass fuels in the EU EU25 25 plus 2 candidate countries of 159 Mtoe/yr for the year 2000, 2000, growing to 210 Mtoe/yr in 2020. 2020.5 More details are given in Table 3. According to the authors these overall figures should be regarded as indicative, as they imply an inaccuracy in the range of ± 10 % as a result of assumption on land use for energy crops. crops. 5

Using wood wastes from sustainable forestry as fuel increases the health of the forest resource. resource. Brazil Biomass are looking for new markets for low low--grade wood wastes from the forest, as a way to remove cull trees and improve forest health. health. Biomass systems are relatively easy to convert to other fuels and so offer great flexibility for an uncertain energy future. future. SolidSolid-fuel systems, particularly those made to burn chunky fuels like wood chips, can readily be converted to burn almost any other fuel. fuel.

The greatest environmental benefit of burning wood for energy is in its positive impact in moderating climate change. change. CO CO2 2 buildup in the atmosphere is the primary cause of global climate change. change. Fossil fuel combustion takes carbon that was locked away underground (as crude oil and gas) and puts it in the atmosphere as CO CO2 2. When wood is burned, however, it recycles carbon that was already in the natural carbon cycle. cycle. The net effect of burning wood fuel is that no new CO CO2 2 is added to the atmosphere, as long as the forests from which the wood came are sustainably managed. managed. Therefore, when wood replaces fossil fuel, the net impact is to reduce CO CO2 2 levels in the atmosphere significantly. significantly. As public consciousness and information about environmental and resource issues increases, often see wood energy as an attractive choice over fossil fuels. fuels 6

Analyses Energy Laboratory

The analyses had been doing at the Energy Laboratory. For the determination of the moisture content, the stoichiometric method was used. The results are presented in the green base. The granulometry was determined by method developed in the Energy Laboratory. Ash in wood was determinated by TAPPI T211 Standard and gross and net calorific value by DIN 51900 Standard. Moisture content, ash, gross calorific value and net calorific value in wood. Moisture content 40% Gross calorific value 4527 The ideal moisture content is equal or lesser that 40% and greaters that 60% are undesirable. The ash content is low, compatible with the usual values of the wood. The gross calorific value is compatible with the values observed for wood, that are between 4500 the 4600 kcal/kg. The net calorific value must be greater that 1200 kcal/kg to have satisfactory performance in burners with grate. 87,24% of material have chips dimensions. Materials for use in burners with grate system must have lesser percentage 30% of material with sawdust dimensions. It shows that the material have adequadet dimensions for burners systems with grates. The energy characterization of the material shows that the results of the ash, gross calorific value and granulometry are adequated.

Wood Pellets

Advantages of Bracatinga Wood Pellets - Brazil Biomass. Biomass The primary environmental benefit of burning wood pellets is it does not contribute to climate changes through emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. The net emission of carbon-dioxide is practically zero. Other emissions from wood pellets are low in relation to coal, oil and other fossil fuels. Emissions of nitrogen oxides are similar to fossil fuels, however emissions of sulfur dioxides are considerably lower. Easy and convenient to handle, even for those who live alone. Nothing is taken from the environment to create pellet fuel. Pellets are made from the residual sawdust from the lumber & furniture The burning of pellets is highly clean and produces extremely little residue. In some countries pellet appliances are exempt from smoke emission test requirements. Pellet stoves come in a number of models and sizes which are attractive and can fit in any home. Automatic feed systems mean you only have to fill the hopper every few days. Pellet appliances may be installed with zero or minimum clearance. Pellet fuel is not subject to world price variations like imported oil. Bracatinga Ecological and Biomass Pellets. Pellets. As a pioneer species, it established pure, dense stands throughout vast areas in Brazil’s Parana area after the native forests (Araucaria angustifolia) were cut and burned, indicating its reforestation potential. The tree is able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. . The product of our raw material is strictly related to small rural producers. For them, Bracatinga is a source of employment for family labor and a way of generating income, which promotes considerable improvement in the quality of life of the farmers and their families. Biomass Pellets. Pellets. The most common form of pellets are relatively small compressed particles, mostly occurring in cylinder form. They are made of different materials (wood, straw, husk etc.) and for different purposes (feed pellets, heating pellets etc.). Our focus is solely on biomass pellets for heating and energy purposes, which we differ between standardized wood pellets and industrial pellets. Woodpellets Bracatinga. Bracatinga. Wood pellet is a wood fuel, made by compressing untreated wood or wood residues into a cylinder form. There are different types of wood pellets varying in quality and utilization purpose. For high quality wood pellets specific standards exist. Those wood pellets that fulfil the strict norms DIN Norm 51731 or ÖNorm M7135 are normally used for small boilers in households.
