Abstract:
Advanced biofuels and chemicals can be produced from biomass through gasification with subsequent synthesis of the desired products. In this work, a value chain is considered in which the biomass is first converted into a liquid bioenergy carrier by fast pyrolysis on a regional scale, after which the fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO) is transported to a centralized gasifier and product synthesis facility. A 10 kW, oxygen blown gasifier was constructed and operated in order to determine the syngas quality and quantity as function of the operating conditions, using FPBOs from different biomass resources. The main results of the experimental work are that the syngas quality is relatively constant, independent of the FPBO origin, and typically consists of around 50 vol.% hydrogen, 20-25 vol.% carbon monoxide, 25-30 vol.% carbon dioxide and 1-2 vol.% of methane. Carbon to gas ratios of 90-95% are obtained and the cold gas efficiency of the process is 75-80%.
