biokraftvärmeverk
A biokraftvärmeverk, often translated as a biomass power and heating plant, is a facility that generates electricity and heat from organic materials. These plants utilize a variety of biomass feedstocks, including wood chips, agricultural residues, energy crops, and sometimes even waste materials of biological origin. The primary process involves combustion, where the biomass is burned in a controlled manner to produce heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. Simultaneously, the heat from the steam can be extracted and supplied to a district heating network, providing warmth to nearby buildings.
The design and operation of biokraftvärmeverk are focused on efficiency and environmental considerations. Modern plants often
