Possibilities of CO and H2 contents change in the syngas produced by biomass gasification

Abstract

Thermal gasification is an advanced technology to convert purposefully grown or waste ligno-cellulosic biomass into calorific gas. Increasing the content of CO and H2 in the product gas is important for the further use of the gas in technologies for power generation. This article describes the process of gasification and specifies parameters that determine the content of CO and H2 in the produced gas.
