In this article, the authors present the scientific and practical aspects of tar formation and conversion during gasification as a function of various technological and technical parameters and variables, and present a review of the most cumbersome and problematic parameter in any gasification commercialization effort.
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 for thermochemical conversion: targets and challenges.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ultimate analysis and associated properties such as H:C, O-C, and heating value might be more amenable than traditional biochemical analysis to the high-throughput necessary for the phenotyping of large plant populations.

Waste Gasification by Thermal Plasma: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of waste-to-energy conversion by gasification processes based on thermal plasma is presented, which can be easily adapted to the treatment of various wastes (municipal solid wastes, heavy oil, used car tires, medical wastes).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of high temperature gas cleaning options for biomass gasification product gas for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of high temperature gas cleaning systems for cleaning the product gas of biomass gasification for fueling solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is presented and the influence of biomass derived contaminants on SOFCs is briefly presented and removal of potential contaminants such as tar, particulates, H 2 S and HCl, alkali compounds from biosyngas is reviewed.

A review of biomass gasification modelling

TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper provides a succinct guide to the modelling choices that need to be made early on in a modelling study or project, including consequential modelling choices not explicitly addressed by prior reviews.

Catalytic destruction of tar in biomass derived producer gas

TL;DR: In this article, a guard bed and a catalytic reactor were used to crack the heavy tars formed during gasification of biomass, with the goal of improving the quality of the producer gas.

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.
