It is the most efficient means of power generation from biomass, and it thus offers CO2 avoidance cost lower than that for CO2 sequestration from existing power plants.

The cost of CO2 capture and sequestration is in the range of 40e60 US$/ton of CO2, depending on the type of plant and where the CO2 is stored 4,5. This is a significant economic burden on the industry, and could potentially esc

Allowing for a straw residue of 85% remaining in the fields to maintain soil fertility, 5 million tons would still be available for energy use. Due to an increase in land producti

Thus if a certain amount of biomass is fired in an existing fossil (coal, coke or oil) fuel fired plant generating some energy, the plant could reduce firing the corresponding amount of fossil fuel in it.

17、 Thus, a power plant with integrated biomass co-firing has a lower net CO2 contribution over conventional coal-fired plants.     Biomass co-firing is one technology that can be implemented immediately in nearly all coal-fired power plants in a relatively short period of time and without the need for huge investments. It has thus evolved to be a near-term alternative to reducing the environmental impact of electricity generation from coal. Biomass co-firing offers the least cost among the
