Cofiring
In order to optimise coal plants, it is possible to use biomass as complementary to coal. This is surely one of the cheapest solutions among the energy options offered by renewable sources. The cofiring is based on the replacement of a portion of coal with biomass to be used in the same boiler located in the already existing plant. This can be done by mixing biomass with coal before the fuel is introduced into the boiler or using separate feeding systems for coal and biomass. According to the type of boiler and the feeding system used, the biomass can replace up to 15% of coal in this cofiring operation.
