Abstract
downdraft biomass gasification reactors, coupled with reciprocating internal combustion engines (ICE) are a viable technology for small scale heat and power generation. The direct use of producer gas as fuel subtitution in an ICE could be of great interest since Indonesia has significant land area in different forest types that could be used to produce bioenergy and convert forest materials to bioenergy for use in energy production and the versatility of this engine. This paper will look into the aspect of biomass energie as a contributor to energy mix in Indonesia. This work also contains information gathered from numerous previews study on the downdraft gasifier based on experimental or simulation study on the ability of producer gas as fuels for internal combustion engines aplication. All data will be used to complement the preliminary work on biomass gasification using downdraft to produce producer gas and its application to engines.
Highlights
Until today, approximately the most of the world electricity is generated from coal, natural gas, nuclear, and oil

Summary
Approximately the most of the world electricity is generated from coal, natural gas, nuclear, and oil. 2. Potential of biomass as an energy source in Indonesia Biomass is natural energy source, mostly coming from agriculture crops and residues, forest waste, commodities of plantation, and animal waste. According to [7], estimated total energy that can be obtained from agricultural residues and forestry residues is to be 614 and 141 million GJ/year, respectively. The country’s total biomass production was around 146.7 million tons per year, equivalent to 470 GJ/y and mostly used by rural areas and small industries to provide energy for cooking, heat and electricity.
