“…Biomass gasification is a thermochemical process of converting solid biomass into a gaseous fuel known as synthesis gas or producer gas under a reduced oxygen atmosphere to avoid complete combustion [59,60]. Gasification aims to maximize the conversion of biomass feed into useable gases.…”

“…Currently, such syngas is used as fuel to generate heat and electricity or as a feedstock for many products in the petrochemical and refinery industries, like methanol, ammonia, synthetic gasoline, etc. The overall gasification process is endothermic, requiring energy input for the reactions to proceed, most of which operate between 600°C and 1500°C [59,63]. The energy needed for this endothermic reaction is obtained by oxidation of part of the biomass through a direct heating (autothermal) or an indirect heating (allothermal) phase.…”

The chapter focuses on recent trends of biomass conversion into valuable energy, chemicals, gaseous and liquid fuels. Biomass is presently the largest source of renewable energy and the primary bioenergy resource in the world. A comprehensive discussion on different types, sources and compositions of biomass is presented. The most abundant biomass on the earth is lignocellulose and it represents a major carbon source for chemical compounds and biofuels. The chapter presents a thorough review of lignocellulosic biomass and the importance of biomass as a renewable source. It then reviews biomass classification and composition. It introduces the analysis of biomass feedstock. Biomass is converted to energy, chemicals and clean fuels using various conversion techniques such as thermochemical, chemical and biochemical. The chapter provides a thorough examination of thermochemical conversion processes that use high temperatures to break down the bonds of organic matter. It briefly introduces combustion and gasification, followed by a comprehensive review of different pyrolysis techniques.

“…In the condition in which production of biogas fuel is required, the gasification process under a reduced oxygen atmosphere applies to convert solid biomass to a gaseous fuel known as synthesis gas [56]. The biomass gasification process is conducted in four main stages including drying of the biomass particles followed by pyrolysis of the dried biomass particles(de-volatilization), in the next step partial oxidation of the pyrolysis gases and/or char occurred and finally char gasification happened (reduction).…”

In this chapter, an overview of bioenergy importance toward energy systems with low (zero or negative) greenhouse gas emissions and general conversion technologies to produce different types of bioenergy products from various biomass feedstock is presented. The bioenergy products from biomass cover all physical phases including solid (biochar), liquid (bio-oil and bio-crude oil), and gases phase (bio syngas) which make them an interesting field in terms of both academic types of research and industrial scale. A discussion on the available technologies for thermochemical, biochemical, and extraction processes is presented, which is followed by some important parameters on each separate process that cause the optimum production rate and desired products. In addition, in the final part, an overview of the technology readiness level for the processes is reported.

“…The application of machine learning is relatively new in biomass gasification with commencement in the last decades (arising from the introduction of neural networks and back-propagation algorithms) for process design and optimization. However, it has rapidly gained momentum in recent time and has been used in several studies [59,61] as a tool for designing new experiments [59], optimizing existing experimental designs [62], online prediction and process control [61].…”
