Retrofitting fossil fuel-fired boilers with biomass gasifiers
22 June, 2010 by Jürgen Peterseim, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Hellwig, ERK Eckrohrkessel GmbH, Germany*
The delay of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) until 2013 certainly slows investment in the renewable energy sector and favours only highly profitable/low CapEx projects. Despite the ETS delay, there are two incentives remaining for energy consumers to cut fossil fuel consumption: rising fuel prices and the generation of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

Schott tubing for solar
31 May, 2010 | Supplied by: SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
Schott Tubing is a key component within the rapidly growing market of concentrated solar power (CSP). The tubing is used within the infrastructure of a parabolic trough power plant. In order to achieve the necessary temperatures, solar radiation is concentrated in parabolic trough arrays. These troughs are more than 400 m in length and are made of parabolically shaped mirror segments. The troughs track the sun over the course of the day and focus the solar radiation along the focal point of the mirrors onto specially coated, evacuated receiver tubes that convert solar radiation into heat. A heat transfer fluid, which is circulating through the receiver, is heated up to 400°C and then used to generate steam.
