Abstract

The concept of co-production of energy and products has recently been developed in order to consider the energy and production system from the point of view of improving energy conversion efficiency and saving energy. The authors have developed self-heat recuperation technology to optimize the energy of individual processes and realize co-production for energy saving. In this technology, process stream heat is recuperated and recirculated into the process using heat exchangers and compressors, leading to marked reductions in the process energy required.
In this paper, the feasibility of co-production of bioethanol and power by integration of self-heat recuperative processes and biomass gasification for power generation is examined and the relationship between production energy and biomass components is discussed using the energy balance calculation.
