Bio4Energy Researchers Tackle Soot Agglomeration in Entrained-flow Gasification of Biomass
Researchers in Bio4Energy may be close to delivering one of the final 'missing link' pieces of scientific knowledge on gasification of biomass from woody residue at high temperatures. Doing so would pave the way for industry to start attempting a technology scale up for the purpose of making biofuel on a commercial level, according to the project leader. The technology is known as entrained-flow ...
