Concentrated solar thermochemical gasification of biomass: Principles, applications, and development

Bioenergy production is one of the most reliable strategies for replacing fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions. Gasification-based bioenergy generation has been extensively studied; however, it still facing challenges limited energy efficiencies, especially upon small-scale development. Concentrated solar thermochemical gasification biomass (CSTGB) where endothermic reactions are driven by concentrated thermal serves as a promising solution to improve efficiency gasification. This review summarized recent development in modeling biomass, method gasification, applications The influences operating parameters toward performance technology were studied, which determine optimum maximizing conversion technology. CSTGB could utilization feedstocks total 30% 40%, respectively effectively storing producer gas compared conventional
