Technical and market assessment of biomass gasification in the UK. Main report - Vol. 1

Abstract

A technical and market assessment of the gasification of biomass and wastes, focussing on municipal refuse, has identified an opportunity in the UK for the production of a competitively priced fuel gas. This is likely to be attractive for direct firing of kilns, co-firing with fossil fuels, and power generation using gas engines. The objectives of the project were to identify and characterise all UK and relevant overseas gasification and pyrolysis systems; assess the capital and operating costs; derive fuel gas and electricity production costs; and identify markets and opportunities for the technologies. The term gasification is used generically to describe the generation of a fuel gas by thermochemical processing of carboniferous materials.
