Original abstract

Gasification is among technologies that allow the use of fuel to produce power and heat. This technology is also suitable for biomass conversion. And the use of this renewable source is used to diversify the energy mix and thus the Czech Republic reduces its dependence on fossil fuels and imported energy raw materials from abroad. During gasification, biomass is converted into gas that can then be burned in gas burner with all advantages of gas combustion; or used in internal combustion engines. The main task during gasification is to achieve maximum purity and calorific value of gas. These are mainly dependent on the type of gasifier, gasification medium, biomass quality and last but not least, on the very gasification mode. The paper describes experiments investigating the effect of temperature and pressure on the gas composition, low calorific value and tars content. Experiments were performed in atmospheric gasifier in the laboratories of the Energy Institute at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology.
