A wide variety of petrochemicals can be produced from wood first converting the wood to synthesis gas, which can then be converted to either methanol or ammonia and further processed to produce the desired chemical product. Some of the chemical derivatives that can be produced from these two basic intermediate products are summarized. Pacific Northwest Laboratory is currently developing a catalytic steam gasification process to generate specific gas products from biomass in one step. Among the gases produced are methanol and ammonia synthesis gases. Gasification tests were carried out in a laboratory-scale gasifiers and in a 1-ton/d fluidized-bed process development unit (PDU).
