‘Enhanced Biomass-to-Liquid’ (EBtL) refers to BtL processes (biomass gasification and liquid fuel synthesis) with a … significant increase in fuel production by means of external energy inputs. The conversion yield of biomass carbon into fuel … carbon is multiplied by a factor of 3 in comparison with existing (autothermal) gasification processes. The technical options …

second generation biofuels via the thermo-chemical route, biomass to liquids (BtL). Techno-economic studies help identify …Synthetic fuels, or synfuels, can be produced from gas, coal and biomass. The conversion of gas and coal is well … established but lignocellulosic biomass conversion is slow to develop. This paper addresses the issue of the production cost of …

0.3. Olivine, a neo-silicate of Fe and Mg, already tested as a good catalyst for tar removal during gasification of … entrained fines. The gasification process appears technically feasible, yielding a producer gas of valuable quality for energy … show a strongly reduced catalytic activity in all the runs. The differences in the gasification behaviour of the two …

the process of biomass gasification, where the synthesis gas may subsequently be used for the production of electricity …Biomass has great potential as a clean, renewable feedstock for producing modern energy carriers. This paper focuses on …, fuels and chemicals. The gasifier is one of the least-efficient unit operations in the whole biomass-to-energy technology …

The best catalysts for promoting char gasification are Group I metals, particularly lithium and potassium, although … other metals are active to a lesser extent. The most prevalent metal naturally in biomass char is potassium, which is not … carbon/potassium complex is frequently proposed. Calcium is the other most common active metal found in biomass, but is far …

In this work, a possible way for partial CO2 emissions reduction from gas turbine exhausts by co-firing with biomass is … to produce syngas to mix with natural gas fuel. As biomass is a CO2 neutral fuel, the fraction of replaced natural gas is …

The paper deals with waste gasification as a technology allowing for indirect co-firing of large quantities of … biodegradable wastes in coal-fired power boilers. In contrast to common landfilling and direct co-firing, gasification of wastes … partly retained in the gasification residues. …

Biomass, integral to life, is one of the main energy sources that modern technologies could widely develop, overcoming … inefficient and pollutant uses. The sugarcane bagasse is one of the more abundant biomass. Moreover, the fluctuating sugar and …
