Another choice is torrified wood, considered on an earlier thread. In
South Carolina, there are enough forestry wastes to supply about 10%
of the energy needed by the utility companies, co-firing torrified
wood.
Still another choice is shells, such as peanut shells. There is a
utility in/near St. Louis which is co-firing about 10% these
agricultural wastes from a nearby food processoring plant.
About 150 km north of here there is a 100% wood-fired 40(I think) MW
electric generating plant running on plywood and firbre board wastes
from a mill not too far away. That's been running for over two
decades now.
Also, the next university to the east uses wood wastes for the winter
heating steam plant. Maybe exclusively.
The price of coal and natural gas is now so high that we'll see more
and more of this, world-wide. It just takes awhile to set up...
