Final Workshop of the "Micro-Bio-CHP" Project
Novel highly efficient CHP system for nearly energy-autonomous multi-family buildings based on biomass gasification, SOFC and PV
Within the project "Micro-Bio-CHP", an innovative renewable energy-based system for heat and electricity supply was developed to enable a near energy-autonomous multi-family building with respect to space heating, electricity consumption, domestic hot water supply and electromobility. The concept is based on a biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) system, complemented by energy storage options and photovoltaics (PV). The system was tested in a dedicated test facility. The results indicate very good environmental performance: virtually zero emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), organic gaseous compounds (OGC) and dust, as well as a reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 55 to 65 per cent compared to conventional biomass CHP technologies. This contributes to the EU's climate and clean air goals.
Against this background, a final workshop will take place on 25 March 2026 from 14:00 to 16:30 CET. Participants will receive an overview of the project results and learn how the technology works in practice, as well as the outlook for renewable energy solutions in residential buildings.
The workshop is organised by the Wuppertal Institute, in cooperation with BIOS BIOENERGIESYSTEME GmbH (project coordinator) and all Micro-Bio-CHP project partners. The project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement No 101083409, duration: October 2022–March 2026).
The workshop will be held in English. Registration is available via the link below.
