Within the three-year lifecycle of the project (2021-2024), the Bio-FlexGen engineers will develop a unique combined heat and power plant (CHP).
The system will provide hourly, daily, and seasonal flexibility. Hourly flexibility is provided by starting quickly on green hydrogen when power is needed. The daily flexibility is achieved by cost-effectively producing heat and power (from different types of sustainable biomass during the winter). Lastly, seasonal flexibility is possible by producing hydrogen from biomass when there is low heat demand.
With this secure and flexible approach, Bio-FlexGen will allow higher amounts of intermittent solar and wind energy to be integrated into the energy system.
