Description of technology
Biomass gasification and power generation technology is a kind of biomass energy utilization technology that converts biomass materials by gasifier into combustible fuel gas, such as CO, H2, CH4, and after being purified the fuel gas is sent to internal combustion engine for power generation. The technology can be used where biomass materials are abundant, such as stalk, chaff, peanut shell, wood powder, bark, etc.
Specific Features
Substitute biomass gas for traditional fuel to reduce power generation cost.
