A Conceptual Study of a Novel Biorefinery based on Supercritical Water Gasification of Wet Biomass Residues from Farming and Food Production Practices

Due to growing awareness and rising concern over the climate change impact, the demand for renewable energy has been increasing. In the coming decades, biomass is expected to play a crucial role as it is one of the most plentiful and well-utilized renewable resources in the world. Biomass can be sustainably converted to solid/liquid/gaseous...

Supercritical water gasification: Decomposition of lipids forming a substantial part of sewage sludge

Supercritical water gasification is a process in which wet biomass is converted to bio-syngas. In this process the temperature and pressure are raised above the critical point of water (374 C, 221 bar), creating a supercritical medium in which a high conversion and energetic efficiency of biomass to bio-syngas is realized. Due to these high...
