Gasification
Gasification is the process of the thermal pre-treatment of Biomass at high temperatures (greater than 800°C), either in the absence of oxygen, or more commonly with a sub-stoichiometric supply of oxygen or air. Steam is commonly added. The product produced is a fuel gas consisting typically of carbon monoxide and Hydrogen together with some methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen (if air-blown) and water vapour. This fuel gas can be used to power gas engines or gas turbines for the generation of electricity. Alternatively the gas can be utilised as a Feedstock (Syngas) for the production of various chemicals, for instance methanol.
