Abstract

Biomass CO2 gasification has attracted much attention as part of the CO2 utilization and mitigation. In this study, biomass CO2 gasification is investigated based on an equilibrium model. Parameter sensitive analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of CO2/C ratio and gasification temperature on the gasification process. The results show that the syngas production can be enhanced by increasing the CO2/C ratio of the biomass CO2 gasification. Higher gasification efficiencies are also obtained under higher gasification temperatures.
