This work deals with the assessment of the potential impacts of residual biomass gasification integrated with the Sicilian agro-food industries. Indeed, these residues are still unexploited by the bioenergy sector, and further technology developments are needed. The residue that has been considered is citrus peel, a byproduct of Citrus juice production. Hence, this work aims to evidence the potential of polygeneration from an air-steam gasification-CHP system in the context of a citrus juice factory. Two case study have been analyzed: the first deals with combined heat and power to be integrated with the factory, while the second one deal with hydrogen, heat and power production for developing local green transportation. Both cases studies are carried out with the aid of an experimentally validated air-steam gasification simulation model, while the constructor provides the CHP data. The potential impacts on local transportation are assessed including the on-road data of hybrid mini-buses carried out by CNR-ITAE researchers.

Abstract

This work deals with the assessment of the potential impacts of residual biomass gasification integrated with the Sicilian agro-food industries. Indeed, these residues are still unexploited by the bioenergy sector, and further technology developments are needed. The residue that has been considered is citrus peel, a byproduct of Citrus juice production. Hence, this work aims to evidence the potential of polygeneration from an air-steam gasification-CHP system in the context of a citrus juice factory. Two case study have been analyzed: the first deals with combined heat and power to be integrated with the factory, while the second one deal with hydrogen, heat and power production for developing local green transportation. Both cases studies are carried out with the aid of an experimentally validated air-steam gasification simulation model, while the constructor provides the CHP data. The potential impacts on local transportation are assessed including the on-road data of hybrid mini-buses carried out by CNR-ITAE researchers.
