Biomass Gasification Process
Biomass that can be used…
Very wide variety of feedstock can be used with simple processing in terms of
sizing and moisture reduction to less than 20%, bulk density of above 100 kgs/m 3
& free flowing nature.

                            Agri-residues like Cotton /     Shells of Arecanut,
 Rice husk (as is basis &
                            Soyabean / Mustard stalks,     Almond, Cashewnut,
  no need to briquette)
                                    Corn Cobs              Groundnut, Coconut

Waste Wood, Wood chips,
                                Branches & Twigs          Bamboo pieces & Pine
  Plywood & Saw mill
                                                               needles
        wastes

  Sugarcane bagasse &        Wild bushes and weeds        Greening of waste lands
    Sugarcane trash           like Prosopis Juliflora,     though production of
      (briquetted)          Lantana, Invader Bush etc.    sturdy Energy species.

   Solid         Biological ash can be returned to the soil.
   Waste

                 In case of major user equipment i.e. genset,
                 noise level is lower than with 100% liquid
   Noise         fuels.




 Biomass materials contain negligible Sulphur
Can be a system for Village / Rural
          Electrification
Biomass Gasification Sustainable Economic
             Development of Rural India
• Wealth from Waste.
• Large-Scale Employment Generation.
• More Equitable distribution of incomes &
  employment.
• Great boost to Rural Entrepreneurship.
• Positive Impact on migration to urban areas.
The Proposed Focus can be… …
• Gasification is being recognized as an attractive technology for
  Decentralized, Distributed Generation (DDG).
• Large scale implementation of Distributed Power Generation
  Systems of 500 kWe to 2 Mwe.
• Preferably connected to tail ends of the rural, 11 KV grids.
• Small Power Packs available from 10-kWe onwards for
  individual Village Electrification.
Benefits…
• Green Fuel & electricity.
• Use the systems to also generate steam,
  chilling, hot water, hot air.
• High PLFs about 80%.
• Quick and modular solutions with no
  pollution.
• Generate high energy, high value
  charcoal & biochar as by-product.
