Integrated biomass utilisation demonstration plant |
Integrated biomass utilisation demonstration plant |
DONG Energy has started the construction of a demonstration plant in Denmark. The principal purpose of the demonstration plant is to show that DONG Energys second-generation technology can be applied on a large scale, i.e. that large-scale production of ethanol from straw is possible.
The
plant will also demonstrate that integration with a power station,
enabling the residual biomass to be combusted, thereby generating more
energy than is used by the plant itself, results in efficient and
financially viable energy utilisation.
Unique collaboration at the port in Kalundborg
The
companies utilise each others residual products in a sustainable cycle
that benefits each company financially and is also environmentally
beneficial. Statoils oil refinery and Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab,
DLG (Danish Cooperative Farm Supply) are situated at the port.
Global showcase in 2009 Hosting the climate summit presents a unique opportunity to showcase Danish companies skills within efficient energy production, renewable energy sources and development of new energy solutions such as second-generation bioethanol that reduce atmospheric emissions of CO2. The plan is consequently for DONG Energys demonstration plant in Kalundborg to be ready before the climate summit. That will give us an opportunity to show a Danish and international audience that we can produce bioethanol on a large scale using our second-generation technology.
