Abstract

This meta-study provides a comparison across various gasification systems on the production of syngas from biomass as feedstock. The gasifier configuration systems analysed included; fixed-bed, fluidized, plasma, and entrained, and the effect of operational parameters on the syngas volume and composition were obtained and analysed across a number of studies. The relationships between efficiency, temperatures within the system, equivalence ratio, fuel quality, and biomass fuel types were investigated and it was shown that ER was the most influential operating parameter. A small generalised comparison between existing competing energy sources was also performed with respect to biofuels.
