Abstract:
Thermochemically generated product gases from biomass can contribute remarkably to sustainability and forethought of climate change in business. The particular gasification process for purposes of electricity, process steam and heat supply is based on a twin counter¬current gasifier with further combustion in a cyclone chamber producing steam for a turbine and represents a type of highly efficient energy conversion. A brief review of combustion and gasification processes was carried out, summarising the recent and ongoing activities. A comprehensive system analysis of biomass combustion and gasification proved the latter to be the much more efficient supplying renewable energies because of the avoidance of operation risks, as well as losses in energy and material, load generation and discharge. According to the results of a technological assessment the utilisation path via gasification generates a remarkable surplus in material and energy efficiency by electricity, steam and heat based on a lower demand in fuel and money.
