Abstract
The use of wood for electricity generation and heat in modern (non-traditional) technologies has grown rapidly in recent years. For its supporters, it represents a relatively cheap and flexible way of supplying renewable energy, with benefits to the global climate and to forest industries. To its critics, it can release more greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere than the fossil fuels it replaces, and threatens the maintenance of natural forests and the biodiversity that depends on them.
Biomass is classified as a source of renewable energy in national policy frameworks, benefiting from financial and regulatory support on the grounds that, like other renewables, it is a carbon-neutral energy source. The gasification can be the alternative way for woody biomass to cope up these threatens. A simulation based study has been carried out in this work for two woody biomass Kasai and Babool available in central India to find out the gasification behavior of both of them. The three gasification variables has been considered for the study i.e. Air to Biomass ratio, Gasification temperature and air inlet temperature.
Thus the objective of the study is
• To present a simulation based investigation aimed at developing an efficient process for air gasification of woody biomass in the absence of added catalysts.
• To study the effect of the Air to Biomass ratio, Gasification temperature and air inlet temperature used for gasification process syngas quality.
