EUBCE, 33rd European Biomass Conference, Valencia, 9-12 June 2025
As a selected EU project, the Fit4Micro project joined the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) in June 2025. Its main results and activities were illustrated in several sessions and project booth in the Exhibition area.
Danish Rehman presented the results for combustion of BTG biofuels (Liquid HPO) in MITIS microturbine combustor at EUBCE 2025 in Valencia, Spain, during his presentation “Hydrotreated Pyrolysis Oil for Sustainable Microturbine Combustion: Experimental Evaluation under Flameless Conditions”. This study explores the performance of a micro gas turbine combustion chamber operating in a flameless combustion regime using hydrotreated pyrolysis oil (HPO) derived from wood residues. Combustion tests revealed that NOx emissions decreased with increasing air-to-fuel ratios, with values below 10 ppm for HPO grades and 15 ppm for domestic heating oil at Lambda = 9 (equivalence ratio =0.1). He showed that for more refined grades of HPO, emissions are lower than 60 mg/kWh for atmospheric testing.
This oral presentation illustrated all the project activities: “Fit4Micro Solution for a MicroCHCP Hybrid Heating System Running on Biofuels”. The related presentation document is included in the full open access conference proceedings
database. The Scientific Programme of the EUBCE includes several other presentations and sessions dedicated to conversion processes and technologies for advanced biofuels production and utilisation.
