This paper describes a new way of processing biomass using micro-CHPU devices (Micro Combined Heat and Power Unit). The micro- -CHPU device is a new idea that allows to convert chemical energy in biomass into electricity for charging batteries in small electric vehicles and into useful heat for households. To make the device readily available and inexpensive, commercial Peltier modules were used, in which their operation was inversed to create the Seebeck effect. !e presented research results show that the commercial Peltier module works very well as a thermoelectric generator. The proposed devices may turn out to be very useful in the times of the revolution that has begun on the energy market in most developing countries. Nowadays, many of these countries are intensively beginning to phase out energetics based on fossil fuels. A very popular and effective method of using biomass is mixing it with coal (in the proportion of 10% to 90%) and burning it in a coal-fired power plant or CHP plant. After closing these power plants, biomass will no longer be burned there. !en, the unused biomass could be burned in micro-CHPU devices. This will prevent biomass waste in agriculture.

W artykule opisano nowy sposób przetwarzania biomasy przy użyciu urządzeń mikro-CHPU (Micro Combined Heat and Power Unit). Urządzenie mikro-CHPU to nowy pomysł, który pozwala na zamianę energii chemicznej zawartej w biomasie na energię elektryczną do ładowania akumulatorów w małych pojazdach elektrycznych oraz w ciepło użytkowe dla gospodarstw domowych. Do budowy zastosowano komercyjne moduły Peltiera, w których działanie ich zostało odwrócone w celu uzyskania efektu Seebecka. Z przedstawionych wyników badań wynika, że komercyjny moduł Peltiera bardzo dobrze sprawdza się jako generator termoelektryczny. Proponowane urządzenia może okazać się bardzo przydatne w dobie rewolucji, która rozpoczęła się na rynku energii w większości krajów rozwijających się. Obecnie wiele z tych krajów intensywnie zaczyna odchodzić od energetyki opartej na paliwach kopalnych. Bardzo popularną i efektywną metodą wykorzystania biomasy jest mieszanie jej z węglem (w proporcji od 10% do 90%) i spalanie w elektrowni węglowej lub elektrociepłowni. Po zamknięciu tych elektrowni niewykorzystana biomasa mogłaby zostać spalona w urządzeniach mikro-CHPU.
