Case Study · Technology Roadmap
Powering bioenergy plants with what comes next.
A global renewable energy company wanted transformative technologies for its bioenergy plants that could become viable within 5 to 10 years. Prescouter reviewed a broad landscape, evaluated 8 technologies in depth and delivered an implementation roadmap for each.
The Client
The client is a global leader in renewable energy, owning and operating an expanding portfolio of bioenergy plants. It wanted to raise operational efficiency, increase revenue at new sites and stay competitive in the bioenergy sector.
The Challenge
Many technologies.
Pick the right pilots.
The client faced a fast-moving landscape of bioenergy technologies at varying maturity, often with little public data, and needed to compare options such as waste heat recovery, carbon capture and energy storage to prioritize pilots and retrofits.
-
Maturity
Varying readiness
Existing and emerging options.
-
Fit
Retrofit potential
Integration with current plants.
-
Data
Hidden performance data
Often not publicly disclosed.
Our Approach
A multidisciplinary review, built into a roadmap.
Expert consultations
9subject matter expert consultations
Test the options
Experts in bioenergy, carbon capture and waste heat recovery shaped the evaluation.
Deep dives
8technologies evaluated in depth
Prioritize and plan
We assessed readiness, cost, benefits and integration, then built pilot and scale-up roadmaps.
The Outcome
Eight technologies, a clear path forward.
Prescouter presented eight transformative technologies for deep dives, including Organic Rankine Cycle systems, membrane-based CO2 capture and redox flow batteries, each with a roadmap covering pilot design, techno-economic models, environmental considerations and potential vendor partners. Organic Rankine Cycle systems showed a payback of about 5 years when recovering waste heat above 200°C, while membrane CO2 capture could reduce emissions and add revenue from carbon credits and captured CO2.
-
Retrofit
Organic Rankine Cycle
Power from waste heat.
-
Carbon
Membrane CO2 capture
Lower emissions, new revenue.
-
By-products
Ash valorization
Engineered construction materials.
Bioenergy plants already produce heat, ash and CO2. The most valuable upgrades often turn those by-products into power, materials and revenue.
