[Gasification] Best biomass for gasification

[Mark E. Ludlow]

Greg and Clem,

Perhaps, Clem, you literally want to know: "... where I can get a list of
the most gasified biomass?" I suspect that's rice husks but I could be dead
wrong. Rice husks are very high in silica which is a problem unto itself.
But there's a lot of it produced...many millions of tons, likely, and
particularly in Asia, "everything has a value."

Best, Mark

Greetings Clem, and List.

Clem, all biomass has about the same BTU's per Kg. (For the most part, some
are a bit higher, some a bit lower, but roughly the same).
(15,540 Btu/kg. Lower Heating Value basis)

The thing here, is that the optimum configuration is getting the gasifier to
run the feedstock you have (that is readily available) in your local area .

There is no sense in designing a gasifier for a feedstock that is not in
your area, could you really use a gasifier that is designed to run on
"Russian Walnut" in Africa, or ElSalvador ?

Regards,
Greg Manning
