- Summary
- Pacific Northwest Laboratory is developing a process for conversion of biomass to specific gas products. Biomass is reacted with steam or steam/air at high temperatures in the presence of catalysts. Specific gases that have been produced include methanol synthesis gas and ammonia synthesis gas. Gasification tests have been conducted in a laboratory-scale gasifier and in a 1-ton/day fluidized-bed process development unit. Maintaining catalyst activity in the fluidized-bed gasifier is the major remaining technical hurdle. 10 references, 2 figures, 4 tables.
