Biomass gasification is a process that converts organic materials, such as plant matter and waste, into a gas called syngas. This is achieved by heating the biomass in a low-oxygen environment, which breaks down the material into simpler molecules. The resulting syngas primarily consists of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and some carbon dioxide, making it a versatile energy source. The syngas produced from biomass gasification can be used for various applications, including generating electricity, producing heat, or serving as a feedstock for creating biofuels. This process not only helps in managing waste but also contributes to renewable energy production.
