WP2 Heat loads & polygeneration applications

  

Overview:

This Work Package aims to answer the following questions:

  • Where is there substantial demand for heat in industrial processes in Europe?
  • Which technological solutions have been selected in the past?
  • Which technology is being considered in new schemes?
  • What are the applications for large-scale polygeneration currently found in industry?
  • Is polygeneration considered an appropriate and competitive option for industry?

During Work Package 2, the project partners will gather on the on hand information and undertake the analyses necessary to kick off D-ploy and to prepare its next steps. Activities of WP2 will be based on existing surveys and information sources, including national CO2 emission quota registries and Large Combustion Plant Directive installation directories. A key element is the development of an initial qualitative assessment of the way polygeneration is evaluated as an option by industry.



Tasks
:

Work Package 2 will include the following elements:

  1. An in-depth mapping exercise of important heat loads in industrial sites in the selected industrial sectors
  2. Analysis of plant sizing drivers.
  3. A qualitative survey of companies, under conditions of strict anonymity, will help determine which technologies are being favoured for new schemes, and whenever possible why.
  4. In parallel to the aforementioned elements, WP2 will also develop a guide to polygeneration applications in 4 selected industries. This guide will set out in detailed, yet comprehensible form, basic polygeneration principles and benefits, large-scale polygeneration opportunities in industries with a selected number of examples, a description of the basic phases of large-scale polygeneration projects; as well as an overview of key economic parameters, different prime mover technologies, fuel options and environmental benefits.
