Abstract

Abstract:

The depletion of fossil energy and environmental pollution gradually become the barriers of social development. To promote the sustainable development of society, it is urgent to seek green and clean energy. Because of its renewability, abundance in raw materials, cleanness and low-carbon characteristics, biomass energy has great potential for industrial application. Biomass gasification-power generation technology, one of the methods of biomass utilization, can replace the traditional fossil energies and avoid environmental pollution. This paper reviews the research progress of biomass gasification-power generation technology, including gasification equipment, life cycle assessment and power generation technology, etc., which can provide the references for the development of biomass gasification-power generation technology.

Key words: biomass, gasification and power generation, life cycle assessment, power generation technology, research progress
