Abstract
A distributed type small-scall gasification and power generation system using solid wastes is developed. In this system, tar and soot components in the pyrolysis gas produced from a pyrolizer is reformed into gaseous components decomposed by using steam and air or oxygen in a reformer. The reformed gas is introduced into an internal combustion diesel engine as a fuel gas for power generation. In this research, experimental result on gasification and power generation using woody biomass as a fuel have been performed for the purpose of increasing the amount of fuel processing capacity, calorific value of the generated fuel gas, and the energy conversion efficiency.
