Due to the availability of storable and adjustable properties, it is more suitable for short-term stable power supply and auxiliary services in microgrid or regional power grid than solar photovoltaic or wind power. The Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) has built the pioneer microgrid facility that can be integrated into the Taipower system. INER also has the manufacturing equipment and processing capabilities of biomass. If integration of existed microgrid technology into biomass field achieved, it will be beneficial to implement policies and deployment of distributed generations (DGs). Referring to the current development trend of biomass energy in various countries, this project will analyze different scales of power generation based on different national conditions and will provide some suggestions for the roadmap of new technologies. Since the biomass combustion still emits carbon dioxide, the latest recycling technology is the synthesis of methane from CO2 and hydrogen. The project will conduct a feasibility assessment to expand possibilities for future bioenergy applications.
