Lignocellulosic gasification is a valid thermochemical approach for the conversion of organic solid matter into a gaseous mixture that is constituted of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane, named synthetic gas or syngas. Although about 55% of syngas is still produced from coal, biomass utilization, especially lignocellulose, is constantly growing. Indeed, gasification could be potentially applied to all different kinds of lignocellulosic biomass, unlike other conversion technologies. Moreover, in the last few decades, a wide range of applications of syngas have been intensively studied. Syngas can be directly used as a combustible substance in power plants for heat and power production (steam cycle, co-combustion, combustion in gas turbines or internal combustion engines, high temperature fuel cells), which represents the most common use of biomass-derived syngas. However, syngas also represents a platform that can be employed in a broad range of chemical and microbial processes, leading to gaseous and liquid fuels, as well as to chemicals. Chemical process research has mainly focused on transportation fuel production from syngas, such as Fischer–Tropsch liquid fuels, hydrogen, methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), mixed alcohols, and synthetic natural gas (SNG). Instead, the biochemical conversion route consists of syngas fermentation in which obligate anaerobic microorganisms convert syngas into organic acids, alcohols, and other chemicals. The most commonly used microorganisms are acetogens, which use the Wood–Ljungdahl metabolic pathway. Syngas fermentation is defined as an indirect fermentation process because biomass is not fed directly into the fermenter, but it is previously converted into syngas through gasification.

biomass gasification syngas thermochemical process

1. Introduction

The gasification of carbonaceous feedstocks to syngas takes place inside a reactor, defined as a gasifier, at high temperatures (800–1500 °C). The feedstock is subjected to partial oxidation due to a lower concentration of oxygen than the stoichiometric requirement. Oxygen is supplied by a gasifying agent or carrier, such as air, pure oxygen, water steam, or their mixture. Although carbon dioxide can also be used as a gasifying agent, its use is less frequent. Moreover, the use of supercritical water is an innovative technology, without the need for pretreatment, which achieves a high H₂ yield and reduces tar and char production^[1]^[2]^[3]. Compared with conventional methods, gasification is a more efficient process than combustion, which is the most common thermochemical route ^[4], and it can convert the entire carbon content in the biomass feedstock into gaseous compounds, unlike the biological or chemical hydrolysis that is adopted in biochemical processes ^[5]. According to the IEA Bioenergy Task 33, there are 114 working biomass gasification projects worldwide, 15 plants idle or on hold, and 13 are under construction or in planning (Figure 1) ^[6].

Figure 1. Geographical distribution of biomass gasification projects ^[6].

2. Syngas Characteristics By Biomass Type

At the end of the entire process, two main product mixtures are present: a solid mixture and a gaseous mixture. The solid mixture contains the unreacted organic fraction and inert materials, such as tars and ashes. Tars are classified into primary, secondary, and tertiary tars. Primary tars consist of both oxygenated compounds (alcohols, carboxylic acids, ketones, aldehydes, etc.) and substituted phenols (cresol, xylenol, etc.). Secondary tars are alkylated aromatics, such as toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, styrene, and hetero-aromatics, such as pyridine, furan, dioxin, and thiophene. Finally, tertiary tars consist of aromatics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), such as benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzopyrene. While primary tars are produced directly from the pyrolysis of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, secondary and tertiary tars are the result of several complex reactions that have not been fully clarified yet^[7]. On the other hand, the gaseous mixture contains syngas (H₂, CO, CO₂, and CH₄) and a small amount of impurities, such as light hydrocarbons (ethane, ethylene, acetylene), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen chloride (HCl), nitrogen oxides (NO_x), nitrogen (N₂), and ammonia (NH₃)^[8]. The syngas’s final composition and characteristics are related to the type of biomass, gasifying agent, gasifier type, and reactor’s operational conditions, such as temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio (ER), residence time, and catalyst used ^[2]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]. For these reasons, in the last few decades, gasification has been intensively studied to investigate the effects of these factors, and thus, to identify the optimal conditions for the process. Regarding feedstock type, wood is the most commonly used feedstock in the gasification process. A representative component profile for syngas produced from several woody biomass types is shown in Table 1. In addition to woody biomass, other kinds of biomass have also been studied as gasification feedstocks. Agro-industrial residues and perennial herbaceous crops (Table 2) represent promising feedstocks that can be used in a thermochemical conversion process to obtain both energy and chemicals. The use of agricultural and industrial wastes, as well as herbaceous crops, instead of woody feedstocks, extends the seasonal availability of biomass. Syngas’s composition is highly dependent on the used feedstocks, as well as the gasification technology applied (Tables 1 and 2). It is worth pointing out that nitrogen (N₂) can represent a main syngas component when air is used as a gasifying agent, in addition to H₂, CO, CO₂, and CH₄. Therefore, air gasification results in N₂-diluted syngas with low H₂ and CO concentrations. Instead, when gasification is carried out with steam or oxygen, the syngas shows higher H₂ and CO concentrations. One of the major challenges in biomass gasification is producing syngas with a low or absent impurities content.

3. Syngas Final Uses

Syngas, depending on its composition and final quality, is used as (Figure 2):

combustible substance to produce heat and power
platform based on chemical synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) liquid fuels, hydrogen (H₂), methanol (MeOH), dimethyl ether (DME), mixed alcohols and synthetic natural gas (SNG)
platform based on biochemical fermentation to produce (bio)chemicals, (bio)fuels and (bio)materials.

Future investigation studies on biomass gasification will be strategic to achieve an ideal syngas composition, thereby making the syngas final use as efficient as possible^[14].
