TL;DR: A review of thermochemical biomass gasification for producing biofuels, biopower and chemicals can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the challenges with gasification are to understand the effects of operating conditions on gasification reactions for reliably predicting and optimizing the product compositions, and for obtaining maximal efficiencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent advances in several biochar utilizations including its use as catalyst, soil amendment, fuel cell, contaminant adsorbent, gas storage and activated carbon.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of mathematical models to predict the product gas quality rely on characterization of feed materials and the reaction kinetics of their thermal degradation, and the authors determined selected physical and chemical properties of corn stover related to thermochemical conversion.

TL;DR: No significant difference was observed in the weight loss profiles of switchgrass, wheat straw and eastern redcedar even though their cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin contents were considerably different, but biomass composition did significantly affect gas evolution profiles.

TL;DR: Thermochemical biomass gasification was performed on a bench-scale fluidized-bed gasifier with steam and air as fluidizing and oxidizing agents and gasification temperature was found to be the most influential factor.
