Abstract

Biomass gasification has been regarded as a promising technology to utilize bioenergy sustainably. However, further exploitation of biomass gasification still needs to over come a significant number of technological and logistic challenges. In this chapter, the current development status of biomass gasification, especially for the activities in China, has been presented. The biomass characters and the challenges associated with biomass collection and transportation are covered and it is believed that biomass gasification coupled with distributed power generation will be more competitive in some small com - munities with large amount of local biomass materials. The technical part of biomass gasification is detailed by introducing different types of gasifiers as well as investigating the minimization methods of tar, which have become more and more important. In fact, applying biomass gasification also needs to deal with other socio-environmental barriers, such as health concerns, environmental issues and public fears. However, an objective financial return can actually accelerate the commercialization of biomass gasification for power and heat generation, and in the meantime, it will also contribute to other technical breakthroughs.
生物质气化:技术壁垒和社会环境影响综述
生物质气化被认为是一种很有前途的生物能源可持续利用技术。然而,进一步开发生物质气化仍然需要克服大量的技术和物流挑战。在本章中,介绍了生物质气化的发展现状,特别是中国的生物质气化活动。本文介绍了生物质的特性和与生物质收集和运输相关的挑战,并认为生物质气化与分布式发电相结合将在一些拥有大量本地生物质材料的小型社区中更具竞争力。详细介绍了生物质气化的技术部分,介绍了不同类型的气化炉,并探讨了越来越重要的减少焦油的方法。事实上,应用生物质气化还需要处理其他社会环境障碍,例如健康问题、环境问题和公众恐惧。然而,客观的经济回报实际上可以加速生物质气化发电和供热的商业化,同时,它也将有助于其他技术突破。
