Gasification of biomass in supercritical water (SCWG)

چکیده
Conversion of wet biomass via gasification in supercritical water is a promising technology for the production of hydrogen and methane from renewable resources. The properties of water above the critical point enable reactions for the fast degradation of biomass and generation of a product gas consisting of hydrogen, methane, higher hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide without disturbing sulphurand nitrogen-containing gases. In this article an overview over the supercritical water gasification will be given, which contains different types of laboratory-scale apparatuses as well as pilot plant scale and model substances as well as real biomasses.

Supercritical Water Gasification of Biomass and Organic Wastes
With the exhaustion of fossil fuels and the severe pollution of the environment, it’s urgent to find substitute renewable energy resources. Biomass is a kind of widespread and abundant renewable resource with lower sulfur content than fossil fuels, so the pollution to environment from biomass usage is much slighter than that from fossil fuels usage. Besides, zero emission of CO2 can be realized...
