Sustainable biomass exploitation for combined heat and power (CHP) generation is fundamental to address concerns about … demands exclusively through renewable resources. A layout of a hybrid micro-gas turbine-solarplant fed by biomass from … agriculture products (olive pits) is modelled. It provides the coupling between a gasifier, dedicated to the biomass conversion …

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

Biomass gasification is recognized as one of the most promising solutions for renewable energy and environmental … evaluated for tar elimination in biomass gasification. This review also looks at recent advancements in nickel based catalyst … used in biomass gasification, including discussion on the effects of different support, promoter and particle size on the …

for biomass based energy generation, biomass gasification is one of the most important routes that are being studied … extensively. Biomass gasification is a thermo-chemical conversion process of biomass materials within a reactor. Number of inter …Biomass is being considered seriously as a source of energy generation worldwide. Among the various routes available …

Downdraft gasifier is a preferable method for carrying out biomass gasification because the produced gas has viable … efficiency, biomass consumption rate, and specific gasification rate. The thermal integration unit also improved gasification … heat. In this study, a modular concept is applied to bring the gasification process to the place where feedstock is …

This work present a novel primary method, for tar reduction in downdraft gasification. The principle of this new … technology is to change the fluid dynamic behaviour of the mixture, formed by pyrolysis product and gasification agent in … in the fluid dynamic behaviour of the mixture; the entry of gasification agent to combustion zone is oriented by means of …

Pongamia residue (shells) is the byproduct from the biodiesel processing industry, which is a lignocellulosic biomass … to wood (more than 350 kg/m3). Pelletization and gasification of pelletized shells was carried out in the present work … biomass. Shell pellets of 17 mm and 11.5 mm diameter and length in the range of 10–60 mm were gasified in a 20 kWe downdraft …

Energy conversion systems based on biomass utilisation are particularly interesting because of their contribution to … the limitation of global CO2 emissions; within the possible methods for energy-based biomass utilisation, thermal … gasification appears as the most mature technology. In the first design stage, the designer of these systems, or the user looking …
