An overall comment to the Chemrec concept: The Chemrec gasifier is fed with the black liquor generated as an energy rich byproduct in the pulp mill and which today is fired in the so-called recovery boiler, a central major part of the pulping process. [...] When the black liquor is gasified and converted to a product as described in in the BioDME project and energy thus withdrawn from the pulp mill operation, the energy needed for steam and power generation is instead fed to the plant in the form of forest residue to a high-pressure boiler. [...] In areas with significant forest and forest industries implementation of the Chemrec BLG and Topsoe synthesis Technologies represent a considerable contribution to the following SDGs: GHG emission reduction (SDG13), sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG 12), reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (SDG7), Sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems (SDG15), regional developmen. [...] Contribution to GHG Sweden produces around 25% of all forest-based pulp in the EU at around 20 emission reduction in different sites and the implementation of BLG and fuel synthesis at all Swedish transports: pulp mills would replace approx. [...] The Forum is established and financed by the European Commission under the project name “Support for alternative and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels forum (policy and market issues)”.
