Free webinar focuses on agricultural biomass for EU bioenergy production
April 13, 2021
A free webinar, jointly presented by Biomass Canada Cluster and AgroBioHeat, will take place Wednesday, May 5 at 10 a.m. EST.
The webinar is called “Success stories and lessons learned from the use of agricultural biomass for bioenergy production in the European Union.”
Canada is globally regarded as a leading producer, processor and exporter of high-quality oilseeds, pulses, and cereal grains, and its unique geography, including several different climatic zones and millions of hectares of fertile soil, allows producers to grow diverse and numerous crops.
About 90 million metric tonnes of annual grains and oilseeds have been produced in Canada over the last five years. Commercial production results in the availability of large quantities of crop residues for use as feedstock for bioenergy, biofuels and other bio-based products. While some of these residues are used for local an
Tumpa Sarker, a PhD candidate in USask’s department of chemical and biological engineering, has found that heating canola meal, canola hull, and oat hull before compressing it yields a higher quality pellet with lower moisture content and volume, and higher energy content and density. The resulting product has a heating value similar to coal, Sarker found. “We have all this carbon stored in forests, and plant and agricultural residue,” said Sarker. “We are looking at how to use it in place of fossil fuels to generate energy” Many farming byproducts are currently left in the field to rot. The resulting methane releases large amounts of greenhouse gas. Compacting plant material into small pellets increases its density up to 10 times, making it much more economical to transport and store.
