摘要
The conversion of biomass by gasification into a fuel Suitable for use in a gas engine increases greatly the potential usefulness of biomass as a renewable resource. Gasification is a robust proven technology that can be operated either as a simple, low technology system based on a fixed-bed gasifier, or as a more sophisticated system using fluidized-bed technology. The properties of the biomass feedstock and its preparation are key design parameters when selecting the gasifier system. Electricity generation using a gas engine operating on gas produced by the gasification of biomass is applicable equally to both the developed world (as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel) and to the developing world (by providing electricity in rural areas derived from traditional biomass).
