This C$30m initiative follows two years of intensive work by Nexterra to upgrade syngas made by gasifying biomass so that it meets the fuel specification of internal combustion engines produced by US General Electric’s Jenbacher division.
Once fully developed, Nexterra's gasification technology is planned to be combined with the gas engines to form modular biomass combined heat and power plants. The scale of individual plants will range from two to 10MW electric and will yield net efficiencies of up to 60% in cogeneration mode and 30% in combined cycle mode.
