Process Evaluation of Biomass to Liquid Fuel Production System with Gasification and Liquid Fuel Synthesis

摘要

We have proposed biomass to liquid fuel production process with gasification and liquid fuel synthesis (BTL process). The process was experimentally studied using rice straw as a biomass, steam gasification, and FT and Oxo synthesis, supported by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan. Overall mass and energy balance for the process was calculated. Liquid products of 8 wt% on the dry biomass basis was estimated, and its energy yield was around 25% on HHV basis. The process could be operated without energy from outside, when obtained off gas was used for the process.
