BTC- Biomass Fired TopCycle
Phoenix BioPower’s mission is to reach 60% efficiency power generation from biomass by 2030. This provides the market with a renewable, reliable and profitable alternative for power generation.
Early stage
Doubling the efficiency of power production from biomass.
The need
The rapid shift towards renewable energy has led to massive investments in intermittent renewables while base load fossil and nuclear are being phased out. This has led to an increased demand for dispatchable renewable power: renewable whenever and wherever you need it.
The solution
BTC offers new cutting-edge technology that can produce twice the power from biomass than traditional technologies. The BTC plant and its core gas turbine system is capable of 100% H2 operation with ultra-low NOx emissions for zero emissions power. With waste heat available, bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is possible at twice the electrical net efficiency compared to steam cycle plants.
The value proposition
- On-demand renewable power at utility scale.
- Plant cost from 1.5 to 5.5M€/MWh electricity (10 and 100 MWe scale respectively).
- High efficiency renewable biopower.
- Superior BECCS capability.
- 100% H2 combustion capacity.
- In targeting residue waste streams from forest and agriculture sectors, the technology is part of the circular energy system.
- Power efficiency of 40-55%.
- Total efficiency of 80-100% (LHV).
- Marginal cost <50€/MWh without subsidies.
- Positive NPV without subsidies.
