Biomass gasification is a process which involves a thermo-chemical conversion of biomass into a combustible gas mixture through a partial combustion route with air supply restricted to less than that theoretically needed for full combustion. It also provides a means of deriving more diverse forms of energy from the thermochemical conversion of biomass than conventional combustion. The gasification process includes devolatilization, combustion, and reduction. During devolatilization, methane and other hydrocarbons are produced from the biomass by the action of heat which leaves a reactive char. During combustion, the volatiles and char are partially burned in air/oxygen to generate heat and carbon dioxide. Whereas, in reduction phase, carbon dioxide absorbs heat and reacts with the remaining char to produce carbon monoxide. The main type of gasifiers used to carry out the conversion process are fixed bed gasifiers and fluid
