Gasification-Based Fuels and Electricity Production from Biomass
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
Gasification-Based Fuels and Electricity Production from Biomass, without and with Carbon Capture and Storage |
| Project ID: |
226 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Eric D. Larson |
| Keywords: |
Biomass; Fischer Tropsch; hydrogen |
Purpose
Develop and analyze process designs for gasification-based thermochemical conversion of switchgrass into Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) fuels, dimethyl ether (DME), and hydrogen. All process designs will have some level of co-production of electricity, and some will include capture of byproduct CO2 for underground storage.
