Biomass gasification
This article is licensed under theGNU Free Documentation License.It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Biomass gasification" (click for full Wikipedia text) 'Biomass gasification ', a century old technology, is viewed today as an alternative to conventional fuel. In the gasification process, wood, charcoal and other biomass materials are gasified to produce so-called "producer gas" for power or electricity generation. Gasification systems consist of a gasifier unit, purification system and energy converters - burner or engine.
Biomass power plant in Strem
A modern example for biomass gasification is located in Strem near Güssing, Burgenland, Austria. The power plant was created in 2005 for research by the EU as part of plans to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. The fermenter was loaded for the first time with 1300m³ of cow manure to supply the bacteria for the fermentation. The hope is that this initial cow manure load will never require renewal. The fermenter works similar to the stomach of a cow, what comes out at the other end beside the biogas looks much like cow manure. Also, similar to cow manure, it can be used as fertilizer. The yield from 230 hectares of maize is used in the biomass gasification. One hectare of maize growing in the climate of east Austria delivers 18,000 kWh electric power and 20,000 kWh heat produced by a gas engine. There are also plans to convert the biogas by the Fischer-Tropsch process process to a diesel fuel.
