biomass gasification
Biomass gasification is a process that converts organic materials, such as plant matter and agricultural 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 hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and small amounts of methane, making it a valuable energy source.
The syngas produced from biomass gasification can be used for various applications, including electricity generation and as a fuel for vehicles. This process is considered a renewable energy technology, as it utilizes sustainable resources and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
