Biomass-integrated gasifier/gas turbine system
The National Wood Energy Association (NWEA) has been a strong proponent of the development of newer, more efficient combustion technologies and applications. One approach is the development of biomass gasifiers and turbine systems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the US Department of Energy (DOE) have all been avid supporters of the development of this exciting technology. Biomass combustion technologies will evolve in many different ways in the marketplace. NWEA believes that we should update out Biologue readers on the technical advances in this area. This article summarizes the state of this system; topics include the following: research and development; is commercial deployment possible now; nature of the joint venture; site criteria and selection standards; private participation; unique risks of the initial project; working conference; biomass as a carbon dioxide stabilization tool.
