Life cycle assessment of electricity generation from combustion and gasification of biomass in Mexico

M. M. Parascanu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the environmental impacts of using sugarcane and agave bagasse from Mexico as raw materials for bioenergy. It was found that sugarcane cultivation has 2 to 6 times more impact than agave cultivation in almost all impact categories. The best scenario in terms of environmental impact was the combustion of agave bagasse among the four scenarios compared.

Tunable syngas production from two-stage sorption-enhanced steam gasification of sewage sludge

Xiaoxia Yang et al.

Summary: Syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is an important feedstock for the production of chemicals and fuels. The tunable H2/CO ratio of syngas produced through sorption-enhanced steam gasification of sewage sludge offers a promising approach to integrate biomass gasification with syngas application, allowing for the production of value-added products. The potential of two-stage SESG in promoting tar decomposition for enhanced syngas production is also highlighted.

Syngas-fueled solid oxide fuel cell functionality improvement through appropriate feedstock selection and multi-criteria optimization using Air/O2-enriched-air gasification agents

Ali Habibollahzade et al.

Summary: This study determines an optimum carbonaceous feedstock for a syngas fueled SOFC and finds that SOFC with anode and cathode recycling perform better at higher current densities and fuel utilization factors. Enriching the gasification medium with oxygen can greatly improve system performance but also increase the levelized cost of products.

Environmental and energy performance of residual forest biomass for electricity generation: Gasification vs. combustion

Andrei Briones-Hidrovo et al.

Summary: The study evaluates and compares the environmental and energy performance of direct gasification and combustion using residual forest biomass in Portugal. Gasification performs environmentally better than combustion in most impact categories, but combustion has a higher Energy-Returned-On-Energy-Invested ratio. The study concludes that gasification may be a good alternative to current combustion systems in Portugal.
