“…In other approaches, syngas is further treated to convert it to liquid fuels such as ethanol, methanol, or Fischer-Tropsch oil [51][52][53]. Newly modified catalysts are being tested to better adjust the H 2 /CO ratio for specific downstream end products.…”

In this review, we will be discussing existing techniques and recent progress in gasification and pyrolysis techniques for the conversion of cellulosic biomass into a viable source of energy. Topics of discussion will include biomass gasification to produce syngas and process concerns, as well as various ways to address these issues, biomass pyrolysis for production of bio-oil and examples of novel techniques published in recent articles, co-firing of biomass and coal and the use of co-gasification and co-pyrolysis, the combination of pyrolysis and gasification to process pyrolysis products to syngas through gasification and liquifaction of syngas and its conversion to fuels such as ethanol, methanol, and Fisher-Tropsh oil through modified catalysis.

“…It also has great potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with respect to fossil fuels. Methanol can be easily produced from natural gas (NG) or by coal and biomass gasification [4,5]. Alcohols (ethanol and methanol) have a relatively higher octane number, lower boiling point, higher oxygen content, higher lean flammability limit, lower carbon-to-hydrogen ratio; and lower heating value (LHV) compared to gasoline and are sustainable renewable fuels of biomass origin [6][7][8].…”

“…To date, a number of polygeneration systems of various configurations have been proposed [2][3][4][5], and several test projects have been funded for polygeneration plants in the USA and in China [2,3]. Most of the researches into polygeneration systems have focused on economic analyses and energy analyses [6,7], with a few focused on exergy analyses of polygeneration systems [8].…”

This paper proposes a polygeneration system based on a multi-input chemical looping combustion system, which generates methanol and electricity, through the use of natural gas and coal. In this system, the chemical looping hydrogen (CLH) production system and the coal-based methanol production system are integrated. A high quality fuel, natural gas, is used to improve the conversion ratio of coal. The Gibbs energy of the two kinds of fuels is fully used. Benefitting from the chemical looping process, 27% CO2 can be captured without energy penalty. With the same outputs of methanol and electricity, the energy savings ratio of the new system is about 12%. Based on the exergy analyses, it is disclosed that the integration of synthetic utilization of natural gas and coal plays a significant role in reducing the exergy destruction of the new system. The promising results obtained in this paper may lead to a clean coal technology that will utilize natural gas and coal more efficiently and economically.
