Abstract
Polygeneration is a concept to improve the economic viability and sustainability of the utilization of biomass via gasification by combining the production of at least two products. The goal is to maximize the efficiency to transform energy and material of the feedstock into products. Syngas from biomass gasification can be converted into a broad range of energy products, for example, electricity, heat, gaseous or liquid fuels, or chemicals. Polygeneration offers high flexibility with regard to changes of market demands. For example, a polygeneration process for combined production of biofuels, heat, and power could be used as a back-up power plant. If the current electricity consumption increases, the production of biofuels can be switched to the production of power. Higher flexibility requires higher capital investments as well as higher costs for operation and maintenance.
