Methods to be used for achieving the project goals include:

• Theoretical studies:
• Fundamental studies, including the development and/or use of advanced models and simulation tools.
• Experiments in torrefaction reactor
• Small-scale laboratory experiments
• Existing and planned new experimental setups in the SINTEF/NTNU laboratories
• Use of conventional and advanced measurements equipment

Sub-projects

The project activities are divided into 4 subprojects (SP) which are further divided in smaller work packages (WP)

SP1 Fuel upgrading and intelligent fuel mixing

• Torrefactions
• Fuel upgrading option

SP2 Biomass and biomass residues combustion plants operational stability

• Combustion properties of torrefied fuels
• Guidelines and feasibility studies for the utilisation of torrefied fuels in combustion plants

SP4 Education

• Goal: Long-term competence building and the strengthening of education within fuel upgrading and combustion
• Ph.D.: "Thermal fuel pretreatment methods for biomass and waste"
• Dissemination activities for our industrial partners through seminars and workshops
• Knowledge building through the education of at least 2 master students/year

SP5 Technology monitoring and dissemination

• Technology monitoring
• Dissemination
