Abstract
In the current energy scenario, the production of heat, power and biofuels from biomass has become of major interest. Amongst diverse thermochemical routes, gasification has stood out as a key technology for the large-scale application of biomass. However, the development of biomass gasification is subjected to the efficient conversion of the biochar and the mitigation of troublesome by-products, such as tar. Syngas with high tar content can cause pipeline fouling, downstream corrosion, catalyst deactivation, as well as adverse impact on health and environment, which obstruct the commercialization of biomass gasification technologies. Since the reduction of tar formation is a key challenge in biomass…
