  • Integrated whole bale feed plasma pyrolysis gasification of lignocellulosic feed stock
    Publication number: 20060185246
    Abstract: A method for gasifying a wide variety of biomass into hydrogen and carbon monoxide (syngas) using plasma torch technology. Generally, biomass is converted into syngas by feeding biomass into a reaction chamber, directing the beam of a plasma torch across the face of the biomass in the chamber, and extracting hydrogen and carbon monoxide rich gas from the reaction chamber. The extracted gas can then be used as a gaseous fuel substitute for natural gas or as a feedstock for conversion to synthetic liquid fuels.
