12Aesthetically pleasing, technically advanced, and open to visitors – not terms normally associated with a sewage sludge treatment plant. Then again this 110 MW thermal capacity combined heat and power (CHP) facility in Hong Kong is anything but your average plant. 35 An inauguration of the 33 Bio and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is all the buzz. Finnish oil major Neste have begun construction of a bio-LPG unit at its Rotterdam biorefinery as Kaisa Hietala, Executive Vice President of R e n e w a b l e Products at Neste revealed in Stockholm, Sweden.

In BioOpinion, he shares some personal notes on balancing forestry with conservation and why biomass is a key part of the equation. 25– Things get better with age, remarked Harold Arnold, USIPA Chairman and President of Fram Renewable Fuel in his opening address of USIPA’s 5th Annual Exporting Pellets Conference in Miami Beach, Florida, US. For the first time market opportunities in other sectors besides European energy utilities were also discussed. 8 F or energ y int ens e industries, tightening restrictions means emission compliance can be a cumbersome and costly affair. An Austrian cement plant has commissioned a novel solution that simultaneously reduces carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with residual heat. 21 In 2012 the Chinese company Beijing Windbell Technology set up shop in Malaysia with its sights set on transforming residue from the palm oil industry into a biomass fuel for export to China. Early this year it commissioned its first commercial biochar, biocoal and activated carbon production plant and more are in the pipeline. 19 What’s not to love about CO2? As a fossil derived greenhous e gas (GHG), carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major problem. But parallel to source emission reduction policies and technologies, a new strand of research is rapidly emerging under the umbrella term “carbon (dioxide) capture and utilisation” (CCU). The focus is on looking at the world’s perhaps most frowned upon gas as a resource instead.
