Ecological Footprint

• is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems.

• is a standard measurement of a unit’s influence on its habitat

based on consumption and pollution

• it compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological

capacity to regenerate.

• it represents the amount of biologically productive land and

sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human

population consumes and to absorb and render harmless

the corresponding waste.

Using this assessment, it is possible to estimate how much of the

Earth it would take to support humanity if everybody lived a

given lifestyle.

Mean ecological footprint:

EU COUNTRIES 4,5 gha/ capita,

POLAND - 3,9 gha/capita ( 20 in EU)

Carbon footprint

It is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

caused by an organization, event, product or person”.

Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land

clearance, and the production and consumption of food,

fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads,etc.

For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of

the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other

GHGs, emitted.

Efectt of 1 t CH4 = 25 t of CO2.

HDI (Human Development Index ).

• determines level of life: income /capita, level of education,

length of life .

• is a composite statistic used to rank countries by level of

"human development" and separate "very high human

development", "high human development", "medium human

development", and "low human development" countries.

• in POLAND HDI = 0,86.

Sustainable development is possible if countries will fulfill

pararelly two criteria:

ecological footprint < 1,8 gha/capita and HDI> 0,8.

Currently in the world over than 80 % energy is being

produced from fossil fuels.

The 20-20-20 targets.

This ‘climate and energy packet’ includes the following targets

for 2020:

• reduce CO2 emission by 20%,

• reduce energy consumption by 20%,

• increase renewable sources energy consumption up to

20% by 2020 (in comparison to 1990).

THE MOTIVATION FOR USING BIOMASS & BIOFUELS

• Reducing dependence on imported oil,

• Making non-fossil fuel (RES) available,

• Reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions

and maintaining agricultural land in production,

• Increasing demand for domestic agricultural products,

maintaining rural employment, etc.

LIQUID BIOFUELS

Biofuels

Liquid or gaseous fuels used primarily for transport produced

from biomass.

Biofuels comprise biogasoline, biodiesel and other liquid

biofuels.

Second generation biofuels refer to biofuels produced from

wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material and lingo-

cellulosic material.

1900 - the first known use of vegetable oil as fuel

1912 - Rudolf Diesel investigated using vegetable oil to fuel

engines of his design.

Rudolf Diesel

"The fact that fat oils from vegetable sources can be used

may seem insignificant today, but such oils may perhaps

become in course of time of the same importance as some

natural mineral oils and the tar products are now."

BIODIESEL

• is a clean burning renewable fuel made using natural

vegetable oils and fats,

• is intended to be used as a replacement for petroleum diesel

fuel, or can be blended with petroleum diesel fuel in any

proportion,

• does not require modifications to a diesel engine to be used,

• is safer to handle compared to petroleum diesel fuel and

biodegradable.

GASIFICATION

Gasification

thermochemical conversion of a solid or liquid

carbon-based material (feedstock) into a

combustible gaseous product (combustible gas)

by the supply of a gasification agent (another

gaseous compound).

GASIFICATION

Gasification is a partial oxidation process whereby a carbon

source such as coal, natural gas or biomass, is broken down

into CO , H2 and CO2 and possibly hydrocarbon molecules

such as CH4.

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION

is the process whereby bacteria break down organic

material in the absence of air, yielding a biogas.

PRODUCTS

• Biogas: CH4 and CO2.

• A solid residue - digestate that is similar, but

not identical, to compost,

• A liquid liquor that can be used as a fertilizer.

Mesophilic digestion

takes place between t =20ºC - 40ºC and can take a

month or two to complete.

Thermophilic digestion

takes place t=50-65ºC and is faster, but the bacteria are

more sensitive.

municipal solid waste (MSW) by microorganisms.

The quality (higher percent methane gases signify higher

qualities) of the gas is highly dependent on the

composition of the waste, presence of oxygen,

temperature, physical geometry and time elapsed since

waste disposal.

• Internal combustion engine

• Microturbine

• Fuel cell

• Other purposes

The use of landfill gas is divided into:

• electricity generation,

• direct use.

Direct use is the use of the gas for various reasons,

usually within 8.0 km of the landfill.

CHP

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER

ADVANTAGES OF CHP :

• Energetic efficiency about 40% higher than separated

production of electricity and power,

• About 30% less fuel consumption than that in the

conventional boilers,

• Reduced emissions,

• Lower production costs .

CHP SYSTEMS BASED ON COMBUSTION OF :

• BIOMASS,

• BIOGAS,

• LANDFILL GAS,

• SLUDGE,

• RDF (Residue Delivered Fuel),

• MDF (Municipal Delivered Fuel).
