Effect of biomass gasification on environment

Abstract EN

Biomass gasification is a proficient technology able to convert any kind of biomass into valuable products and can contribute extensively to renewable energy generation.

Gasification is a form of thermal breakdown of biomass feed stocks, carried out at high temperature result in a gas known as producer gas which can be used for numerous purposes.Apart from all the advantages this technologies have some drawback related to process and products which results environmental pollutions, occupational health and safety hazards.

The producer gas is needs to be cool before use depending upon the application and some byproducts are also released such as tar, ash, char, oils etc., which create specific problem in the environment require suitable treatment before discharged.

The present study gives a review of health, safety and environmental issues with process and products of biomass gasification plant.
