| Abstract | The heating sector in Germany requires a significant transition towards renewable based technologies to create a more sustainable future with less fossil fuel dependency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Today, biomass plays an important role in the German heat sector, considering its many possible application areas. In this study, the future market potential of a small-scale fluidized-bed (FB) combustion operated with different biomass fuels was investigated both in residential and low-temperature industrial heating sector by using an economic optimization model with the projection until 2050. The results of the modelling showed that FB combustion can be a competitive alternative, especially in the industrial heating sector. The power prices had a more influential effect on FB combustion in the residential heating sector, and it becomes less competitive in case of higher power prices due to its increased power demand for the fluidization. The results also showed that after 2040, the biomass-based technologies start to become less competitive in the investigated sub-sectors as the decreasing biomass potential shifts to high temperature industry applications. The findings of the model showed that FB combustion can be a competitive option to fulfill the 95% reduction of GHGs in German heating sector. |
