The attention regarding bioenergy sources, such as biomass, as an alternative to fossil fuels has increased …

The production of ethanol from biomass via steam–air indirect circulating fluidized bed gasification (iCFBG) and … are compared with a previous study based on entrained-flow gasification (EFG) and also with production of biochemical … ethanol from agricultural residue, showing that iCFBG with partial oxidation is the most cost-competitive option for the …

currently most of it is produced by steam reforming of methane. Alternatively, hydrogen can be generated by in situ gasification … of bitumen. In situ gasification of oil sands is potentially more energy efficient with reduced emission to atmosphere … and optimize hydrogen generation by in situ gasification from bitumen reservoirs. The central idea was to recover energy …

A new waste-disposal technology named Plasma Gasification Melting (PGM) was developed. A pilot PGM reactor was … heat for the gasification process. …

of HCCI combustion parameters using gasoline like fuels (methanol, ethanol and butanol) were investigated in a modified …

fermentative processes to generate butanol and butyric acid. As with Z. mobilis ZM4, Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and … Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 were capable of fermenting all three sugars and had final butanol concentrations of 5.3 and 8 … results from each of the beverages tested were similar, except for the diet beverage, with a final ethanol concentrations of …

Many by-products are generated during gasification, such as tar, NOx, SO2, and fly ash. In particular, tar elimination … from the product gas is necessary to make gasification an attractive option. The presence of tar can cause operational … biomass main components – lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. This review describes the fundamentals of the possible …

small–medium scale plants including a realistic biomass gasification model. The model provides five different configurations … types of biomass, operating conditions and configurations. It has been applied in the case study of the ST-2 polygeneration … assessing the performance of trigeneration plants using several types of biomass and enables meaningful comparisons to be made …
