Abstract
The main objective of the present work is to compare the characteristics of synthesis gas obtained from different types of biomass. The paper considers the technology of raw material heat treatment, which includes a two-stage pyrolytic conversion of biomass into gaseous fuel. The experimental data on composition and quantity of the gaseous products formed in the process of thermal treatment of various types of raw material are presented. The results indicated that the method allows obtaining 1.23-1.48 m3 of synthesis gas from 1 kg of organic raw materials of various types and with the calorific value of 16.0-35.1 MJ/m3.
