Abstract

In order to meet the challenges of increasing energy demand, renewable energy plays a significant role in energy strategy nowadays in China. Bioenergy as carbon free energy, is considered one of the most promising renewable energy sources that can supply heat and electricity. The paper introduces characteristics of biomass and related equipment expounds on the direction of research of biomass gasification, illustrates the state-of-the art biomass gasification technologies in China, compares the characteristics of gasifiers, reviews the influencing factors of gasification performance, describes the problems that should be solved for biomass gasification technologies, and indicates the development direction of biomass gasification in China.
