Nearly 100 delegates joined the fabulous '3rd Symposium of Renewable Energies' in Yangon, hosted by the German Delegation and CLAAS.
A first nationwide grid is expected to go online in the 2030ies.
In my presentation, I highlighted the fact that both,
Harvest and Post-Harvest Residue are
THE FAST LANE
to the decentralized supply of Baseload Renewable Energy in Rural Asia.
With just 24-36 months of project development time.
Milling Waste
like rice husk, sugar cane bagasse and corn spindle are available in large, homogeneous volumes - low hanging fruit for power plants.
On-Farm Residue
is an often forgotten valuable resource for power, burnt on the fields instead, adding to air pollution and regional haze. Staggering volumes of rice straw (6 tons/hectare), sugar cane trash (15) and corn stalk (6) are available for power generation in rural off-grid locations.
Project Success
depends on mastering 4 main issues
1. Reduce Dirt/Inert and Moisture on the Field
2. Maintain Fuel Cleanliness and Dryness before/after Baling
3. Reduce Density and ParticlexSize as late as possible in Fuel Handling
4. Design all Systems to Highest Flexibility in Feedstocks
This requires upstream engineering and cooperation in the project planning stage.
