Expected Results

Reduction of greenhouse gases (with 540 tonnes/year, i.e. 100 %) compared with today’s heating with oil and electricity
Reduction of combustible waste from grain production (with 100%) and total waste (with 95%).
Eliminating costs for heating with oil and electricity (with 99 %)
Price stable fuel (+/-5%), i.e. no risk for international price shocks or tax increases as for oil.
Less discharge of organic substances (with 20%), of sulphur acid (95%) and of hydrochloric acid (70%) compared to combustion with seed.
Step by step through the project
Task 1:
A: Building construction and machinery position which make the machinery easy to reach both for demonstration and service. The target is to create a good understanding regarding all engineering aspects for the parties involved before starting the actual construction. This means to solve all technical issues connected to the construction and installation parts of the project that might occur while still on the drawing board.

The main target is to ensure that all responsibilities and interface between suppliers, sub-suppliers and assigner are defined and that a safe working environment can be handled with care during construction and installation. The target is to get construction permit at the 1^st of May and at the latest to start building the 1^st of September 2006 .
B: Test plan and specifications. Reporting documents for the evaluation phases.
Task 2:
A: A functional building that will facilitate machine installations and will make it easy to follow the innovative method from raw material to heat (receipts – mixing – pellet machine – pellet burners – boilers).
B: Each component is supplied without damages or malfunction and in full accordance with original specifications. Each component is inter-connected and the concept is organised in such a way, that a start-up is possible. Work applied in this phase is completed within the project time limits. Each unit and component is tested before mounting, in terms of physical dimensions, output or efficiency and technical level of supplied documentation.
Task 3:
A: The different mixing receipts will be presented according to firing performance with the aim to make the fuel suitable for as many different kinds of firing equipment as possible and a fuel that causes as few service visits as possible.
B: The pellets will be solid, inflammable, free of dust and containing high heat and energy (more than 4,5 kWh/kg) and with a low ash level (less than 4 %).When these results are achieved, the pellets will be tested in the boilers at Skånefrö (Task 4).
Task 4:
A: We expect to demonstrate that the pellets produced in Task 3 will have an acceptable performance when burned in the Hotab boilers. This means that the combustion efficiency must be higher than 85%, that the level of emission corresponds to BBR and EN 303-5 and that the combustion does not cause unnecessary emergency stop or need of maintenance.
B: We also expect the project to succeed in producing a pellet that is possible to use in at least 20% of the domestic wood pellet burners on the market today without causing too big differences in cleaning intervals and level of reliability, hence securing a high use of the pellets produced by the agriculture sector.
Task 5:
The BIOAGRO project will lead to a new method to reduce the discharges of greenhouse gases by using energy from grain, grain- and seed waste to produce heat and electricity.
The BIOAGRO project will offer an innovative method which is transferable to the whole European agriculture and constitute a conclusive breakthrough in finding alternative to fossil energy and with that substantially reduce the discharges of greenhouse gases in Europe. Fully implemented in Europe, the use of BIOAGRO fuel would lead to a reduced discharge of greenhouse gases in Sweden (with 10%) and a yearly reduction of greenhouse gases in Europe (with 2,5% and 67 million tonnes) in case technique will fully penetrate the European agriculture. The objective of the environment for EU is to reach 5% by year 2010. Results will be documented in test reports. The test reports will include a separate section on environmental impact.
Task 6:
Complete dissemination of BIOAGRO method and results to target groups and others.
Task 7:
A successful accomplishment of project management objectives and results, deliverables and milestones documented in reports. The final report will include an After LIFE communication plan.
