Biomass gasification refers to a process which involves burning of biomass for the generation of producer gas or syngas. Producer gas is a combustible gas mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen.
The gasification process uses heat, pressure and partial combustion which takes place when the air supply (O2) is inadequate for the combustion of biomass. The status of gasification at the country level generally depends on the background of industry and energy production in the country. For instance, it is mostly used in countries with widespread forest or pulp and paper industry along with amply indigenous biomass.
Although biomass holds a small share in the global electricity production, its use is growing significantly faster than a number of other energy sources. According to a new report by Expert Market Research, the global biomass power generation market reached a production volume of 440 TWh in 2016 and is further expected to reach 963 TWh by 2022. The market growth can be accredited to a number of factors. It is a renewable raw material which creates no harmful carbon dioxide emissions and helps in waste management. This is one of the primary factors driving the demand for biomass gasification. Moreover, on account of increasing environmental concerns and rising green-house gas emissions, countries are now shifting towards eco-friendly energy sources. Government’s support through various policies and regulations along with abundant availability of biomass have also acted as a catalyst for the market growth.
