Abstract

Production of high-quality syngas from biomass gasification in a dual fluidised bed gasifier (DFBG) has made a significant progress in R&D and Technology demonstration. An S&M scale bio-automotive fuel plant close to the feedstock resources is preferable as biomass feedstock is widely sparse and has relatively low density, low heating value and high moisture content. This requires a simple, reliable and cost-effective production of clean and good quality syngas. Indirect DFBGs, with steam as the gasification agent, produces a syngas of high content H2 and CO with 12-20Â MJ/mn3 heating value. A good quality syngas from DFBGs can be obtained by optimised design and operation of the gasifier, by the use of active catalytic bed materials including internal reforming of tars and methane, and finally by a downstream cleaning process. This article reviews the whole process from gasification to high quality syngas.
