Among the different methods of energy production from biomass, gasification is considered as the most suitable option as it is a simple and economically viable process to produce thermal energy or decentralized electricity ...

CFD model has been developed for the 2D axisymmetric model of an Imbert downdraft gasifier. The present Model has been validated with experimental data. The model predicts CO, hydrogen, and CO2 with precise accuracy. ...

Pyrolysis, a first step in the biomass gasification, is the thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of char. As pyrolysis is a kinetically ...

Increased research is going on to explore the new cleaner options for the utilization of natural resources. This book aims to provide the scientific knowhow and orientation in the area of the emerging technologies for ...

Biomass mainly in the form of wood is the oldest form of energy used by humans. Biomass generally means a relatively dry solid of natural matter that has been specifically grown or has originated as waste or residue from ...

The present work comprehensively covers the literature that describes the thermochemical techniques of hydrogen production from biomass. This survey highlights the current approaches, relevant methods, technologies and ...

Pyrolysis and gasification of biomass is considered to be the promising alternative solutions for the increase of energy demand and environmental awareness. Pyroysis process produces a variety of chemicals by limited ...
