Abstract
Biomass gasification is a promising technology for converting organic materials into valuable gases such as syngas, hydrogen, methane, and chemical feedstocks. This process involves complex thermochemical reactions influenced by various parameters. This article explores key factors affecting product quality during biomass gasification, including feedstock composition, moisture content, particle size, operating conditions, catalysts, and sorbent-to-biomass ratio. The study sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of different gasifier types, such as updraught, downdraught, fluidised bed, and entrained flow, highlighting their suitability for specific applications. It also delves into the significance of parameters like steam-to-biomass ratio and air equivalence ratio. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing these factors to enhance gasification efficiency and minimize undesired byproducts. Biomass gasification holds significant potential for sustainable energy production and should be explored further to harness its benefits effectively. Keywords: Biomass, alternative source of energy, bioenergy, biofuel, biomass gasification, gasifier types.
