The report illustrates how the B.1.1 Bioenergy project has developed, in the reference year, on the matter of energy production from residual biomasses with the aim to: a) promote technology innovation : validation on field of the RSE pilot plant Biomet-up (based on the amino solid phase technology for the upgrading of biogas to biomethane), under real operating conditions on biogas from biowaste; selection of aminoacids as new sorbent for the solid phase upgrade and first step of testing; experimental test of direct combustion of agricultural residues (bales of corn stalks) carried out at an existing pilot furnace, aimed to point out the main aspects of the corn stalks combustion phase have to be optimized to enhance the performances for its use in a local co-generation (ORC plant); b) analyse the waste bio-energy systems existing and consolidated at the national level: construction of a multiyear database (2010-2014) on waste production (of the resource), waste pre-treatment systems (the MBT to SRF chain), WtE systems ; analysis of trends and current status and performances; c) analyse status and perspectives of energy production from residual biomasses: state of the art on microbial processes for the production of bio-H2 and bio-products from agro-industrial residues; an assessment of corn stalks production and availability for energy production in Italy; d) support standardization in the fields of solid biofuels from waste, biomethane and pollutant emissions: scientific contribution to national (CTI, UNI, CIG), European (CEN) and international (ISO) standardisation bodies; e) scientific co-operatation with stakeholders: the technical panel on biomethane organized by the Lombardy Region; the project coordinated by ISPRA for the development and application of a procedure to assess the quality of measurements of pollutants in gas emissions; the Task 36 of IEA Bioenergy. ...more
