Abstract :
This paper reports the results of studies on energy production by using animal by-products obtained from egg-derived vaccine. The use of this kind of biomass is a good chance to reduce CO2 emissions as well as an interesting support to the use local resources and to the development of local economies. The paper investigates the feasibility studies to use these wastes to produce energy and to become an energy source and not a disposal cost. Termochemical processes as combustion and gasification will be used as a first step to produce steam for process and combined heat and power with internal combustion engine or External Fired microturbine.
