Biomass Gasification: A Modern Approach for Renewable Energy Utilization
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
The World is facing crucial time for energy due to consumption of fossil fuels (natural gas, coal, and oil), rise in fuel price, and unacceptable environmental effect in recent years. Biomass is a renewable potential energy source which can reduces dependency on fossil fuels. Biomass is available in various forms throughout year in India. It accumulates solar energy by photosynthesis method from sunlight. Gasification is a chemical process that converts carbonaceous material such as biomass and coal into gaseous fuel or chemical feedstock. This gaseous fuel is known as producer gas or syngas which contains CO2, H2, CO, H2O, CH4 and N2 compounds. An attempt has been made to give basic idea about gasification, gasification mechanism, types of gasifier and characteristics of different biomass in this paper.
