Abstract
Above 30% of power production in Europe is still coming from coal. More than 600 coal or lignite fired power plants produce electricity all over the Europe, with more capacity located in Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, the Czech Republic and South East Europe. Various ways of reducing CO2 from coal-based power generation are currently in certain phases of research, development and demonstration. Many of them involve biomass co-firing. Co-firing coal with biomass can be carried out directly (in the same combustion chamber), indirectly (after pre-treatment), in parallel (separate combustion), and completely (full conversion to biomass). Opportunities for retrofitting are co-firing of biomass and complete retrofits (full conversion). This paper summarize recent activities carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina, namely JP Elektroprivreda BiH and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of University in Sarajevo, to develop and implement solutions of retrofitting large thermal power plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina with biomass. Target is achieving the power production in thermal power plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be sustainable in long-term view.
