Abstract
This paper reports on high power generation efficiency using gasification technologies in Japan and Europe. Gasification has become one the great interests in Europe once again because of its possibilities for fuel production from waste and biomass and for alternative thermal treatment technologies.
In Japan, gasification suppliers focus on high steam parameters and low-stoichiometric combustion to achieve high power generation efficiency. In Europe, plasma and fluidized bed gasification technologies have been developed. Plasma gasification technologies reform the syngas from the gasifier by plasma, and introduce the reformed syngas to the gas engine in order to achieve high power generation efficiency. Fluidized bed gasification applies a combination of high-temperature ceramic filters with high boiler parameters.
Gasification suppliers have continued to develop and improve upon their technologies. Further development and new breakthroughs can be expected in the future with the aim of achieving higher power generation.
