Biomass Gasification, Pyrolysis, and Torrefaction: Practical Design, Theory, and Climate Change Mitigation, Fourth Edition delves into the crucial role of biomass conversion in addressing climate change. Focusing on design, analysis, and operational aspects of biomass gasification, pyrolysis, and torrefaction, this edition provides comprehensive coverage of biomass in its gas, liquid, and solid states. It examines the processing and cleaning of product gas in gasification, as well as the development of biomaterials. Moreover, it addresses hydrogen production for fuel cell applications, reflecting the growing importance of hydrogen as a fuel source. While the book primarily focuses on biomass, its content is also applicable to non-biomass fuels such as coal, petcoke, municipal solid waste, and others. By offering insights into the basic principles of energy conversion systems and providing valuable information for designing complete biomass conversion systems, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals in the fields of engineering, science, and operations of biomass gasification, pyrolysis, or torrefaction plants.
