Salon Bois Energie 2019, Rennes, France

The Salon Bois Energie each year presents a rich programme of conferences addressing the main themes of the day. Simultaneous translation will be provided for all conferences. 

Wednesday, 30^th January - wood energy : the curent context for wood heating for industry and municipalities in France
 - see the programme below !

Thursday, 31^st  January - waste to energy:  the converging worlds of waste to energy and wood energy. The Conference presentations are being drawn from a large international spectrum and the day will be illustrated with shining concrete examples of how technological advances are taking modern bioenergy to the next level to produce direct energy and/or solid, liquid or gaseous fuels at both the industrial and decentralised level.

6 sessions will build a coherent picture of the different energy recovery pathways from wood, waste wood, srf, landfill, plastics, tyres etc via a range of processes applied at the industrial or local level :

• torrefaction : an overview of the evolving torrefaction market highlighted by a world first industrial black pellets project
• pyrolysis and thermolysis : applying pyrolysis and thermolysis processes at local and industrial scales for producing differing biofuels with an illustration of a world first biofuel plant
• biochar : producing biochar and possibilities and applications for it’s useage
• hydrothermal gasification : energy recovery from liquid biomass (<25% dry matter) via hydrothermal gasification of supercritical water
• municipal solid waste : examples of best practice in municipal solid waste management (optimum sorting and recycling, AD of the organic fraction, srf production of remaining fraction) as well as examples of biogas recovery from landfill (chp, heat, biomethane)
• pyrogasification : energy recovery from wood fuels, wood (eg bois B) and agri-wastes, srf and other non-recylable wastes.
