Needs
- Need to get clean and storable fuels for 24/7 continuous renewable energy production
- Compensation power for wind and solar energy required
- Use of fossil coal can be banned in the near future in other states, California is not using fossil coal any more
Approach
- Brown pellets to replace fossil coal in a coal-firing power plant
- Brown pellets can be used also partially, if 35% reduction of fossil CO2 emissions is needed, it can be reached by using 35% of bio coal
Benefits
- Brown pellets is the fastest way to retro-fit a fossil coal incinerating power plant
- Can be used in all coal firing plants
- Can use existing coal-firing power plant investments until the end of their operative life
- Quick ramp-up, just start using new fuel
- Possible modifications very small, possible a pellet fuel feeding system
