Review of applications of gases from biomass gasification

Biomass will play an important role in the future global energy infrastructure for the generation of power and heat, but also for the production of chemicals and fuels. The dominant biomass conversion technology will be gasification, as the gases from biomass gasification are intermediates in the high-efficient power production or the synthesis from chemicals and fuels. In the discussion on the utilisation of gases from biomass gasification it is important to understand that the composition of the gasification gas is very dependent on the type of gasification process and especially the gasification temperature. In this report the two main types of gasification gas and their typical applications and specifications were discussed, i.e. biosyngas and product gas.
