Abstract
Synthesis gas (syngas) is an alternative energy carrier to fossil fuels that can be used for power generation; it is also used in refineries, the chemical industry, and hydrogen production. Hydrogen has attracted great interest as a clean fuel and energy carrier, which will significantly increase its demand. This demand can be met through different technologies, and biomass gasification is one of these technologies that can convert organic matter into syngas in a sustainable manner. This chapter explores biomass gasification technology and the effects of various parameters (e.g., temperature and pressure) on the process performance and output. Different types of gasifiers have been used and are classified depending on the contact modes between the biomass feedstock and the gas. Other paths to biomass conversion into syngas have also been demonstrated, and these include fast pyrolysis, supercritical water gasification, and catalytic biomass gasification.
