ENERGY FROM BIOMASS: A REVIEW OF COMBUSTION AND GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES
This report reviews the state of the art of biomass combustion and gasification systems, along with their advantages and drawbacks. In addition to wood, many agricultural residues can be used as fuels. They include straw from grains; husks from rice, coconuts, or coffee; stalks from maize or cotton; and bagasse from sugar cane. Forestry and landscape conservation activities generate biomass such as thinnings and verge grass. Technical details of combustion systems and the steam cycle are given, aid for various gasification systems, and the performance of biomass fuels in power applications are reviewed.
