GEnIUs :
Gasification for Energy Intensive Users
Organization
• CIRCE is a research centre founded in 1993 with the support of the
University of Zaragoza. CIRCE’s mission is to drive forward
improvements in energy efficiency and to spread the use of
renewable energy by means of the development of R+D+i
(Research, Development and Innovation) activities and formative
actions that respond to the needs of national and international
producers, thereby contributing to sustainable development.
• TERREAL was created in 2000 after the merger of 3 French brick
and tile manufacturers. Originally exclusively a clay product
manufacturer, TERREAL enlarged its range of products to the
“building envelope” in 2006 by combining its different fields of
expertise in roofing, cladding and structural materials. TERREAL is
a natural player of the energy efficient building envelope : its range
of products is entirely dedicated to green building solutions.

Substitution of fossil fuel (like natural gas) by Syngas in thermal
processes like the combustion process for firing / drying ceramics
in kilns / dryers
Gasification of a new energy feedstock like non-recyclable / nonhazardous waste (Solid Recovered Fuel) or by-products (biomass)
Diversified logistic (depending on local availability in quantity,
quality, time and cost) and management (preparation) of the
feedstock

carbon footprint (depending on biomass content and legislation)
dependence to natural gas as a captive energy source
cost of energy (€/MWh and Carbon credit)
Increase energy efficiency through an energy integration of a welladapted process control
Sustain local symbiosis and circular economy (waste to energy)

Project Idea Rational
1.
For Energy Intensive Users, energy cost constitutes a large
proportion of total production cost
Industries are committed to better manage energy on a daily basis
(like EMS) or to make investment for the reduction of the fossil
fuel consumption (like heat recovery, heat pumps, ORC, …)
On a longer term perspective, this will not be sufficient and only
renewable energy integration will make a significant impact

to reduce the energy intensive industries greenhouse-gas (GHG)
emissions
and to maintain the sustainability of the industry in the context of the
price of the natural gas expected to increase from 30 to 100.
As a promising solution, the production of Syngas from nonrecyclable / non-hazardous waste (SRF) of by-products (biomass)
represents an opportunity to substitute the natural gas
consumption and to avoid the dependence to a unique energy
source

Project Idea Rational
5.
Even if the gasification technology is known for years, there is a
lack of demonstration at full scale / full operation 24/7 and there is
few demonstration with non-recyclable waste or by-products
The feedstock must be diversified according to the local
conditions of legislation and availability, in quantity, in cost, in time

7.
The demonstration will be achieved by a given feedstock (tbd) but the
diversification will be targeted from the beginning of the project
The Syngas quality will be set, by the gas treatment unit and the
process control dedicated, according to the application foreseen
A methodology for design and implementation will help for

Dissemination and increasing the renewable energy resources
integration while enhancing the efficiency in the use of these
resources
Setting specifications and requirements for the substitution of fossilfuel energy while assessing the energy efficiency potential in each of
the considered sectors and, in particular in the demonstration sites

Idea Impact
1.
Energy Source (long term impact)
•
•
•
•
2.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas
Diversification of energy source by substitution of the natural gas
Reduction of the dependence to the price index of fossil fuel
Small scale, localized production (‘at the farm’) will become feasible
Process Technology
• To determine the suitable technology for fossil fuel substitution by
biomass or residues which can be adapted to the sectors tackled
• Process technology of the entire chain needs to be considered to keep
the research effort geared towards solutions and production
3.
Design and Dissemination
• To develop specific design criteria, basic equipment and control
procedures for biomass and/or residues combustion for each sector
• Integration into existing plant with the current industrial processes to
maximize their thermodynamic efficiency
