Biomass renewable energy will play a large part in the future of energy. Biomass gasification technologies have come a long way, and further research will do more to advance the technologies used even more. Biomass renewable energy is friendly to the environment because it is a cleaner burning fuel that does not depend on fossil fuels. Oil is limited, and biomass alternative energy is a way to stop using oil and use domestic energy sources instead. The feedstocks used will determine which biomass gasification technologies are the most efficient and effective. Biomass may be the answer which prevents a future energy shortage, not just here but across the globe.
There are several different types of biomass gasification technologies. Biomass gasifiers can be classified as fixed bed downdraft, fixed bed updraft, bubbling fluidized bed, and circulating fluidized bed. Fixed bed downdraft biomass gasification technologies cause the gases to flow down the reactor, and this gasification process has the ability to burn off more than ninety nine percent of the tars that form during the process. Biomass with a low moisture content is put into the top of the reactor along with air or oxygen, and they are ignited. Pyrolysis and gasification occur, and debris is deposited through a metal grate at the bottom. Fixed bed updraft biomass gasification technologies follow the same concept, except that the gases flow upward from the bottom, and the biomass and oxygen are added from the bottom. The other two types of biomass gasification technologies use fluidized beds, either bubbling or circulating. The difference in the gasification process is on whether the gas bubbles through the medium used or if the medium circulates through the air as well as the gas.
