Funded Activity Summary
Oxy-cofiring of bio-slurry and coal for carbon-negative power generation. This project aims to study co-firing characteristics of bio-slurry fuels and coal under oxy-pulverised-fuel (oxy-PF) conditions. Oxy-PF stationary systems can capture the renewable carbon embedded in bio-slurry fuel from biomass pyrolysis for sequestration, leading to carbon-negative power generation. The expected outcomes are critical knowledge and data regarding the underlying thermochemical reactions responsible for the co-pyrolysis, volatiles/char co-firing and ash formation from bio-slurry/coal co-firing under oxy-PF conditions. This is expected to enhance Australia's competitive advantage in clean power generation through high-impact scientific and technological innovations, and strengthen the related knowledge and skill base in the country.Funded Activity Details
