Performance Comparison on Biomass Gasification Reactor for Hydrogen Production

Nowadays biomass becomes one of the most important sources of renewable energy due to its abundant reserves and relatively low price compared with other energy sources. The main advantage of biomass as renewable energy source is its capability to produce near zero carbon dioxide emissions through th...

The main advantage of biomass as renewable energy source is its capability to produce near zero carbon dioxide emissions through the use of gasification process.
