Gasification Study of Different Plant - Based Biomass Materials

In this paper, the characteristics of synthetic gases derived from different plant-based biomass feedstocks are studied using a downdraft gasifier. The biomass materials are oil palm frond, mangrove wood, sugarcane bagasse and coconut husk. Understanding of these characteristics would lead to prop...
