5. Biomass Conversion Technologies

Biomass Conversion Technologies 5. Biomass Conversion Technologies Bioenergy consists of solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels. Liquid fuels can be used directly in the existing road, railroad, and aviation transportation Various Technologies exist to convert network stock, as well as in engine and turbine Biomass resources into power, heat, and fuels for use in UEMOA. electrical power generators. Solid and gaseous countries. fuels can be used for the production of electrical power from purpose-designed direct or indirect Several Technologies for converting turbine-equipped power plants. Chemical bioenergy are commercial today products can also be obtained from all organic while others are being piloted or in research and development. matter produced. Additionally power and chemicals can come from the use of plant-derived As new Technologies and processes industrial, commercial, or urban wastes, or develop, the UEMOA needs to agricultural or forestry residues.

49 Biomass Conversion Technologies • Straight vegetable Oil (SvO)/Pure Plant Oil (PPO): SVP/PPO can be used in most modern diesel vehicle engines only after some technical modifications. Principally, the viscosity of the SVO/PPO must be reduced by preheating it.
