Abstract
Biowaste is a valuable resource for sustainable energy production. Through combustion, it generates thermal energy, while gasification a thermo chemical process which transforms solid fuel into gaseous fuel. This process, specifically through a downdraft gasifier, converts biowaste into a combustible gas known as producer gas. Utilizing biowaste as a fuel source plays a crucial role in reducing dependency on fossil fuels, providing a renewable, low-carbon energy alternative. Combining biowaste with other renewable sources like wind and solar power is an effective solution for small-scale, decentralized power generation. This approach not only meets local electricity needs but also supplies heat for rural development. Optimizing operating conditions and methodologies for maximum syngas production in biomass gasification is essential. The gasification system designed here includes a downdraft biomass thermo chemical conversion gasifier, a gas transport line with tar removal, and a fully enclosed combustion chamber—together, forming a robust setup for efficient, clean energy production.
