Syngas, a mixture of carbon
monoxide,
hydrogen and other
hydrocarbons, is produced by partial combustion of biomass, that is, combustion
with an amount of oxygen
that is not sufficient to convert the biomass completely to carbon dioxide and
water. Before partial
combustion, the biomass is dried, and sometimes pyrolysed. The resulting gas mixture,
syngas, is more efficient than direct combustion of the original biofuel; more
of the energy contained in the fuel is extracted.
- Syngas may be burned directly in internal combustion engines, turbines or high-temperature fuel cells. The wood gas generator, a wood-fueled gasification reactor, can be connected to an internal combustion engine.
- Syngas can be used to produce methanol, DME and hydrogen, or converted via the Fischer-Tropsch process to produce a diesel substitute, or a mixture of alcohols that can be blended into gasoline. Gasification normally relies on temperatures greater than 700°C.
- Lower-temperature gasification is desirable when co-producing biochar, but results in syngas polluted with tar
