Abstract

An analysis of the performance of a coal-biomass mixture as fuel in the energy production by a defined scheme of an integrated gasification combined cycle plant as a function of the mass ratio compositions is presented. It is important to notice that all the feedstocks are fuels available in the country. The results show the feasibility to use coal-biomass mixtures for power generation, and offers a real option to increase the power grid based on biofuels, in which potentially may reduce the utilization of coal, and thereby a feasible reduction of greenhouse and criteria pollutant emissions can be achieved.
