Abstract
This research work investigates an application of biomass to produce energy with low-carbon emissions. It proposes a division of conventional gasification into a two-stage gasification that harnesses a thermal-integration between the stages and has the potential to produce clean syngas. The conventional gasification is divided into two-stages, namely the char-production and syngas-production. Experiments were conducted to determine the energy requirement in pyrolysis. The experimental results were also used to validate the numerical model built on simulation software (UniSim). A model was built on numerical software UniSim for the thermally integrated gasification with steam as a gasifying agent and using biomass.
