Abstract:Pruned peach tree branches (PP) are widely and thinly distributed in comparison to cedar, a typical planted forest species in Japan, making them a promising small-scale local energy source. However, their low carbon conversion rate restricts their use as fuel for small-scale gasification in combined heat and power plants. Moreover, kinetic studies required to inform the design of gasifiers are lacking. Thus, in the current study, the gasification of PP using mixed CO 2 and O 2 gasifying media was evaluated usi… Show more
