Original abstract

Biomass as fuel is a significant source of renewable energy. In comparison with fossil fuels, however, its effective use is more complicated. This is the reason why other than conventional technologies of combustion are sought to make energy use of biomass. One of the ways of converting biomass to thermal energy or electric power is thermal gasification. The generated gas can consequently be used in combustion engines, gas turbines, or be directly burnt in the furnaces of steam boilers. Yet another interesting way of using the gas is separation and use of its individual constituents, e.g. separation of hydrogen for fuel cells. This paper is focused on survey of research of biomass and waste gasification at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The first part of this paper deals with testing of the most frequent biomass by gasification process. Second part is focused on catalytic methods of gasification gas cleaning using at experimental unit.
