This Survey of Biomass Gasification was written to aid the Department of Energy and the Solar Energy Research Institute Biological and Chemical Conversion Branch in determining the areas of gasification that are ready for commercialization now and those areas in which further research and development will be most productive. This summary gives a minimal amount of discussion of the technical background of gasification and focuses on conclusions and recommendations that affect policy.nThe Executive Summary gives the highlights of each chapter of the survey for ready reference in condensed form. The survey itself, running to over 400 pages, presents relevant scientific background information, surveys the current status of gasification activities, and examines various questions relevant to the uses of the product gases.
