Biomass Gasification:Technology for Renewable Energy

Clean, green energy from renewable resources

Gasification:

• A thermochemical process where heat and oxygen break down biomass into a synthesis gas
• Synthesis gas consists of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, etc.

Synthesis gas is used for:

• Powering internal combustion engines
• Powering boilers, furnaces, driers, or chillers
• Powering gas turbines or fuel cells
• Producing liquid fuels  (diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel)
