Biomass energy with carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies like oxy-fuel is
the only way to achieve net removal of CO 2 from the atmosphere in power generation. A
single particle apparatus has been developed for rapid heating and combustion of individual
fuel particles in air or O 2/CO 2 atmospheres. This wire mesh apparatus was used as a
heating element to heat the particle by radiation while optical access allowed particle
combustion characterization by high speed camera recording. Four different biomass and a …

Co-firing technology at large power plants can contribute to reducing emissions and
maintaining stable and secure electricity supplies. Due to the higher reactivity of biomass, a
larger particle size range is generally used for biomass fuels compared with pulverized coal.
