The steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis oil is a well-established means of producing the
more useful bio-hydrogen. Bio-oil has a comparatively low heating value, incomplete …

In this paper, the authors present an overview of biomass gasification modeling approaches
with the aim of evaluating their effectiveness as a modeling tool for the design and …

Agricultural and forestry residues are usually processed as wastes; otherwise, they can be
recovered to produce electrical and thermal energy through processes of thermochemical …

Study on gasification of OPF (oil palm fronds) is scarce although the biomass constitutes
more than 24% of the total oil palm waste. The lack of research related to gasification of oil …

In this study, a comprehensive steady-state model of downdraft biomass gasification process
was developed using Aspen Plus simulation software. All four major gasification zones …

Pyrolysis is the thermo-chemical conversion of carbonaceous feedstock in the absence of
oxygen to produce bio-fuel (bio-oil, bio-char and syn-gas). Bio-fuel production from …

The production of biofuel from any biomass waste like waste macadamia nutshell (WMNS)
using pyrolysis has recently gained enormous attention as it can address both issues related …

Biomass utilization through gasification could be a viable alternative energy source for
meeting energy demands in decentralized manner. Thermodynamic equilibrium and other …

Bioenergy is now accepted as having the potential to provide the major part of the projected
renewable energy provisions of the future. It has been ascertained that the biomass is a …

The co-gasification of bituminous coal (BC) and industrial sludge (IS) in the downdraft fixed
bed gasifier (DFBG) was simulated by a validated steady-state model structured using the …
