Ikka Hiltunen from VTT represented the FlexSNG project at the BBEST IEA 2024 Conference held in São Paulo, Brazil, from October 22 to 24. Ikka presented the ‘Validation tests of flexible  fluidised-bed gasification process  for co-production of synthesis gas and biochar’ as an oral presentation. 

The presentation summarizes the results of the experimental validation of the key technologies in the FlexSNG project, which aims to produce synthetic natural gas and biochar from biomass and waste through gasification and syngas methanation. Two operation modes were tested: co-production of biomethane and biochar, and maximized biomethane production, using VTT’s pressurized fluidized-bed gasification pilot plant.
