Co-generation of BioJet in CHP plants

In this report, co-production of FT-crude for use as an BioJet intermediary has been examined. The results show that a process based on a gasifier integrated with a biomass boiler followed by subsequent gas cleaning and synthesis, can produce FT-crude with a marginal efficiency as high as 75 percent thanks to utilization of excess heat and residual streams from the FT-process in the CHP plant. The specific investment costs and operational costs calculated in the project are on pair with recently published costs for significantly larger plants. Co-production can therefore enable commercial biofuel production in a moderate scale.
