Abstract
The main purpose of this review is to update the information on gasification tar, the most cumbersome and problematic parameter in any gasification commercialization effort. The work aims to present to the community the scientific and practical aspects of tar formation and conversion (removal) during gasification as a function of the various technological and technical parameters and variables.

Biomass and fossil fuel conversion by pressurised fluidised bed gasification using hot gas ceramic filters as gas cleaning

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of operating conditions (pressure, temperature, stoichiometric ratio) on gasification (gas composition, conversion grades) was studied using a 1.5 MWth test rig (pressurised bubbling fluidised bed gasifier) at Delft University and a 10-50 kWth system at Stuttgart University (DWSA) in the framework of experimental research on efficient, environmentally acceptable large-scale power generators based on fluidized bed gasification.

Evaluation of different oxygen carriers for biomass tar reforming (I): Carbon deposition in experiments with toluene

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative method for gas conditioning in biomass gasification is analyzed, where the objective is to remove tar by selectively reforming the unwanted hydrocarbons in the product gas with a chemical looping reformer (CLR), while minimizing the carbon formation during the process.

Biomass char as an in-situ catalyst for tar removal in gasification systems

TL;DR: The main technical barrier remains the efficient removal of Tars from the produced gases in gasification systems as mentioned in this paper, which is defined as a generic term comprising all organic compounds present in the producer gas excluding gaseous hydrogen carbons (C1-C6) and benzene.

The technical and economic feasibility of biomass gasification for power generation

TL;DR: In this paper, the costs and technologies involved in an integrated system for the production of electricity from biomass in general and wood in particular are reviewed, and the main conclusions are that wood handling, storage, drying, comminution and screening are well established and present no uncertainties in operation and performance.
