Tiivistelmä: | The paper presents results of the study analysing the whole chain from methodology of overall and available biomass resources calculations in the region, the most efficient technologies and procurement methods, logistics and economy of biomass supply to the consumer, up to the economic and ecological gains from the conversion of boilers for co-firing wood and brown coal. The study was conducted for the Banská Bystrica region, Slovakia. There is a combined heat and power plant (CHP) in town Zvolen. CHP, originally commissioned in 1954. Overall installed output is 311 MW in heat production and 44, 3 MW in power. Annual supply to the consumers was some 790.000 GJ of heat and 103.000 GJ of electricity during the last few years. Some 60 % of heat production was used for heat and hot water supply to more than 9.000 houses and apartments and 40 % to industrial consumers. It has been using pulverized lignite with up to 1 % of sulphur content as fuel. The content of sulphur in emitted flue gas was as high as 3.500 4.000 mg SO |
