ANDRITZ Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) Gasification Plants
Pioneering advanced biofuels for a defossilized transport industry.
ANDRITZ offers pressurized biomass gasification for advanced biofuels and power applications. ANDRITZ’s concept for the large-scale production of advanced biofuels has clear market potential and business opportunities. These plants will be first-of-a-kind and will represent a pioneering activity in the renewable fuels market.
Meeting market demand with sustainable feedstocks and cutting-edge technology
The market demand for biofuels is predicted to increase as it can successfully replace “partially or completely conventional hydrocarbon products without substantially modifying existing engines, associated components and distribution infrastructure”*.
Currently, the feedstock for biofuels based on food and feed crops seems to “be more controversial than first thought”*. Therefore, recent policies like the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII) emphasize the use of advanced biofuels sourced from sustainable feedstocks, such as woody biomass. And, finally, from a technological perspective, fluidized bed gasification has long been an often-cited pathway to produce advanced biofuels.
With decades of experience in the global pulping industry, ANDRITZ offers proven solutions for processing wood. Our comprehensive knowledge and advanced technologies support customers in understanding market conditions and selecting the best technologies.

ANDRITZ CFB and BFB gasifiers market status - Extensive gasification experience from a renowned company
ANDRITZ has extensive experience in CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) and BFB (Bubbling Fluidized Bed) biomass gasification technologies with successful references in Europe, Brazil and China.
ANDRITZ’s reference in the town of Skive in Denmark is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant based on a BFB biomass gasification plant, feeding clean syngas to three gas engines generating 6 MWe and 12 MWth for district heating.
Skive is an important plant to demonstrate the high level of technical readiness of various systems and with respect to biofuel gasification plants, ANDRITZ has developed the necessary concept upgrades for clean syngas synthesis requirements.
Gasification technology will play an important role in these large-scale and capital-intensive projects. As a full-scope and experienced supplier of gasification technology, ANDRITZ offers a well-recognized gasification concept to produce advanced biofuels. This concept allows for lower pre-fuel treatment costs with high technical readiness for scaling up production. ANDRITZ, with its proven capabilities in delivering large-scale industrial projects, is well positioned in this market.
Join us now in leading the transition to advanced biofuels and contribute to a defossilized future.
