13.1 Introduction
As a key technology for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into useable renewable energy, gasification technologies have been investigated for several years. With regard to fuel quality, biomass could be classified as a low rank fuel in terms of energy density, heating value, and moisture content. Moreover, the inherent property differences of each plant species and changes in physicochemical properties due to the external environment (weather, seasonal variation, and storage) make it difficult to develop a universal energy conversion system with different feedstocks.
Together with pyrolysis and combustion, ...
