We will start with the patented, world-first, hybrid fluidised bed (HFB) gasification system, which converts solid biomass into a clean, high-energy gas. This gas is combusted in the gas turbine at high temperatures, resulting in highly efficient power generation that sets new industry standards. Efficiency is further enhanced through the use of steam generated from exhaust gases and waste heat from the gasifier. This steam is injected into the gas turbine, significantly boosting power output. The final step of the process focuses on smart heat recovery. All steam is condensed, enabling the recycling of water. The low-temperature heat produced at this stage is efficiently utilised for district heating, CO₂ capture, and biomass drying, contributing to the system’s overall sustainability. The Bio-FlexGen’s integrated approach does more than just generate power. It represents a transformative advancement in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, making a positive impact beyond traditional power generation. Our engineers will explore these innovations in depth, providing insightful knowledge for PHD students, engineers, and investors in the bioenergy field.
