DOIAbstract
International audienceRaw biomass resources and many wastes are composed of poor-LHV organic matter (LHV <20 MJ/kg). Their use as renewable fuels for heat or power generation is challenging, particularly when they are in solid form. Indeed, their combustion in air is critical and it is not possible to build autonomous burners independently of external conditions without assistance. Three main options are currently studied: (i) the co-combustion, in which the poor-LHV fuel flame is supported thanks to an additional rich fuel, (ii) the oxy-combustion (iii) the electro-combustion, consisting in the generation of thermal plasma for activating and assisting the combustion. This last option is highly interesting because it only requires electrici...
