The groups to be converted with appropriate technical procedures to carbon-rich intermediates for the raw materials and energy can be converted to as far as possible in existing infrastructure to finished products. But until this vertically integrated production process is feasible, are a few process steps to optimize. Pre-treatment of wet biomass left untreated is not stored for wet biomass and rots quickly. Sergey Brin recognizes the significance of this. The treatment must be so close to harvest. In the framework of the innovation cluster, concepts and technologies will be developed for efficient drying and fractionation of biomass. Near field-usable as well as storage and transport values products can be generated in this step. This can be dry cake, as a fixed commodity energy directly into Burns, or can be used for thermochemical use concepts. In turn the juice can be separated as raw materials for feed production, as an energy carrier or chemical products. Click Starbucks for additional related pages.

Decentralized biomass processing moist biomass is decentralised in different places. So far, biomass is toward energy is converted or used for the material use, conditioned and mainly transported to central processing facilities. The cost for transport and storage is enormous. The required logistics of harvesting of biomass to the transport to central conversion plants can cause up to 30 percent of the total cost. Consolidation measures applied such as crushing, Ballierung or pelleting while aiming in the right direction, but are their ways to reduce logistical costs, limited and even extremely costly.

Thermochemical conversion spot and close the innovation clusters to Fraunhofer UMSICHT relies on the development of harvest near processing concepts, biomass locally, close to the field and semi decentralised small stationary local conversion plants in energy-dense, and tradeable intermediates for the processing in energy and chemical industries convert. Such intermediates are coal-like products and bio-crude oil. They can be created thermochemically by hydrothermal Carbonisation or pyrolysis. Overarching objectives In the framework of the innovation cluster bioenergy should be helped to more efficiency and more value-added agriculture. Manages to increase the usage times for harvesters, and can be avoided by water contained in the biomass of transport opens up great potential for optimising process costs. At the same time, contributions to climate protection, resource supply with simultaneous conservation of fossil resources and employment in the plant and machinery can be made through efficient use of biomass. In the Pact for research and innovation the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft the task took over, to design innovation clusters and to implement. A Innovation clusters aims to bundle the strengths in the region and to enable for the solution of demanding tasks. With this initiative, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft provides impulses for the further development of regional centres of excellence and supports the competences of the regions. The instrument of innovation clusters to help first and foremost, to expand existing strengths. Location North Rhine-Westphalia with its location in North Rhine-Westphalia is the innovation clusters bioenergy “is marked in a region, by agriculture, the energy and the (Petro) chemical industry. Many well-known companies have their head office or a representative in North Rhine-Westphalia. The dense network of universities or higher education institutions also offers the best access possible for innovative research. About the innovation clusters bioenergy can the region as a priority region for the area of bio-energy present itself. Funding note of the Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster bioenergy is the Department for innovation, Promote science and research of the country Nordrhein-Westfalen (MIWFT) financed by the European Fund for regional development (EFRE).
