This RIRDC report is about biomass co-firing, which is a method to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by substituting a renewable fuel—biomass—for a proportion of the coal used to generate electricity in coal-fired power stations.
Importantly, the focus is on factors affecting the adoption of co-firing rather than on the technology itself. Biomass co-firing has been proven and commercially adopted around the world, facilitated by a range of supportive policies. At low levels of co-firing, minimal capital expenditure is required, making this one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce GHG emissions.
