Learn how solid feed gasification enables the large-scale conversion of biomass and municipal solid waste into renewable fuels and chemicals, supporting decarbonization goals.
This paper, which uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation results, demonstrates that solar-driven biomass gasification, using solar-heated particles as a heat carrier and a fluidized bed reactor, enhances green H2-enriched syngas production by improving heat transfer and gasification kinetics, thereby enabling continuous and stable operation despite fluctuating solar flux.
This presentation covers kinetics model development using COMSOL and lab scale experiments, and reactor scale modeling in Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
