Small Scale Gasification: Gas Engine CHP for Biofuels

Small-Scale Gasification-Based Biomass Power Generation

Introduction Gasifying biomass to produce a combustible gas provides the possibility for much more efficient overall conversion of a given biomass resource into electric power than is possible with traditional combustion-based technologies. In particular, gasified biomass can be used to power internal combustion engines (ICEs), gas turbines, and fuel cells, all of which are able to produce elec...

Economic and Environmental Evaluation of Waste to Energy through Gasification; Case study: Tehran

In spite of the past few decades, gasification of waste is being used in the developed countries. Reducing the space for landfill sites, producing fuel from waste, as well as avoiding negative impacts of landfilling, are of advantages of gasification. The research was aimed at feasibility study of application of Tehran municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification in addition to understanding the wa...

Pilot-scale gasification of woody biomass

The gasification of pine and mixed-hardwood chips has been carried out in a pilot-scale system at a range of gas flow rates. Consuming w17e30 kgh 1 of feedstock, the producer gas was composed of w200 dm m 3 carbon monoxide, 12 dm m 3 carbon dioxide, 30 dm m 3 methane and 190 dm m 3 hydrogen, with an energy content of w6 MJ m 3 for both feedstocks. It was found that the efficiency of the system ...

Biomass Gasification using Solar Thermal Energy

Hydrogen from Biomass as an energy carrier has generated increasing interest in recent years. There are several different technologies to convert solid or liquid Biomass into a gas mix consisting of mainly hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Up to 30% of the energy stored in the product gas would originate from the sun by using solar thermal applications to source the conversion while the equivalent o...
