Syngas for Internal Combustion Engines, Current State, and Future Prospects: A Systematic Review

Biomass is a potential alternative energy source. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of biomass gasification as an energy source, particularly its application in diesel engines, gas engines, and gas turbines. No specific research has been identified that addresses syngas utilization as fuel...

description Biomass is a potential alternative energy source.
