Bio-FlexGen

Decarbonising the economy and ensuring energy security is a priority for the EU. Replacing fossil fuels with renewables will improve energy efficiency and lead to more flexible energy systems. In this context, the EU-funded Bio-FlexGen project will increase the efficiency and flexibility of renewable energy-based combined heat and power. The novelty here is a unique combination of gasification and gas turbine technology that allows the plant to utilise hydrogen for fast dispatch and biomass for low operating costs over time. The project proposes the use of two renewable energy sources: green hydrogen from variable renewables and biomass. The results will play a key role in energy system integration and make a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of the energy system.
