A review on thermochemical biomass gasification techniques for bioenergy production

Abstract

Thermochemical gasification techniques (TCG) are used for producing gaseous fuel from solid fuel to bioenergy production. One of the needs is for solid waste to diversify into energy sources; thermochemical gasification techniques used for producing syngas have a potentially environmentally friendly and sustainable energy conversion method. Produced gaseous fuels are used for power generation applications as well as process heating purposes. This paper offers a fundamental evaluation of critical operational parameters of thermochemical gasification, tar generation, and cracking with a comparative discussion on conventional gasification mechanisms with advanced gasification techniques. A primary focus is on operating parameters, decreasing installation costs and operational expenses, and discussion on unique gasifiers methods used for cogeneration strategies to promote syngas from biomass gasification as an alternative energy source along with excellent efficiency and flexibility. With this holistic consideration as improvement in feasibility and sustainability by utilizing low-cost biomass, Municipal Solid Waste and COVID-19 waste feedstock for thermochemical gasification with reducing socio-environmental effects result in an environmentally friendly approach.
