Gasification is a highly effective technology for converting biomass into fuel gas or syngas. While various gasifiers have been commercialized for fuel gas production, mitigating tar formation in gasifiers remains challenging. This review is devoted to summarizing the general strategies adopted in v...

In the complete green synthesis technology chain, bio-syngas production remains the “first hurdle”. Especially, the “tar” problem in biomass gasification urgently needs to be solved. Recently, our team, in collaboration with Jinan Huangtai Gas Stove Co., Ltd., completed a 10,000-ton industrial test...

Plant materials throughout the world, i.e. biomass, can provide annually roughly 18 x 1015 Watt-hours (6.5 x 1013 MJ) of energy, considering just the residues from agriculture and forestry. However, at least part of that amount has higher-valued uses, including being made into durable products, ther...

For the past few decades, following circular economy principles, materials once considered waste are now examined as potential resources. This study seeks to depict the research that has been accomplished not only in the area of sewage sludge valorization through energy-producing technologies, but a...

Hydrogen is considered to be one of the most promising green energy carrier in the energy storage and conversion scenario. Although it is abundant on Earth in the form of compounds, its occurrence in free form is extremely low. Thus, it has to be produced by reforming processes, steam reforming (SR)...

Decarbonisation of energy production is vital to prevent further climatological disasters; sustainable hydrogen production from unique underutilised feedstocks will presents a viable pathway to overcome further energy crises and transition away from fossil reserves. By tapping into severely underuti...

This study investigates the performance and emission characteristics of biomass gasification-derived syngas under various loads in comparison to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and gasoline in a spark-ignition, single-cylinder generator. In the experiment, syngas A (4.11 % CH4, 9.83 % H2, 25.04 % CO,...
