The current practice is to substitute biomass for up to 20% of the coal in the boiler. Cofiring has many benefits: it helps to reduce fuel costs as well as the use of landfills, and it curbs emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, and the greenhouse gases associated with burning fossil fuels. This Federal Technology Alert was prepared by the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program to give federal facility managers the information they need to decide whether they should pursue biomass cofiring at their facilities.Federal Energy Management ProgramBiomass energyCase studiesCoal-fired power plantsFuelCostsRenewable energy sourcesLiquefied petroleum gasBiomass energyCoal-fired power plantsFuelCosts.Renewable energy sources.Liquefied petroleum gas.United States.Department of Energy.Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.Federal Energy Management Program (U.S.)DOXDOXGPOBOOK9910698569303321Biomass cofiring in coal-fired boilers3114152UNINA
