Biomass gasification is a promising technology in current and future low carbon energy
systems. Soot formation is a great technical challenge for the industrialization of biomass …

A key issue associated with fluidized bed combustion of biomass is agglomeration. The
presence of high quantities of alkali metal species in biomass ash leads to the formation of …

Steam gasification enables the thermochemical conversion of solid fuels into a medium
calorific gas that can be utilized for the synthesis of advanced biofuels, chemicals or for heat …

In this paper, three CO 2-neutral H 2 production processes were investigated. The three
employed technologies were dual fluidized bed (DFB) biomass steam gasification, biogas …

Catalytic gasification is a method for converting carbon feeds to usable products such as
hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane. This review summarizes the research on …

Agglomeration inhibits the smooth operation of fluidized-bed reactors by forming relatively
large agglomerates to interrupt fluidization during gasification or combustion processes …

Renewable biomass fuels are frequently used for power generation. Biomass ash causes
bed agglomeration in fluidized bed boilers due to the formation of alkali silicate melts. Very …

Biomass is recognized as a CO2-neutral energy resource. However, biomass is a
challenging fuel to combust because of its heterogeneity with regard to the content of …

Gasification is a thermochemical process that transforms carbonaceous matter into a
gaseous secondary energy carrier, referred to as product gas. This product gas can be used …

Dolomite is a cheap and robust catalyst used for biomass gasification, but its deactivation
under relevant conditions of pilot-scale gasifiers has still been poorly understood. For this …
