“…The tar produced by biomass gasification has the characteristics of complex composition, variable nature, comprehensive influential factors, and can cause great harm. The existence of tar seriously affects the gasification efficiency, leads to the waste of energy, and easily leads to the blockage of pipes [35,36]. Moreover, in the process of gasification, the production of tar should be minimized.…”

In China, the non-exploitation of bioenergy poses major problems and challenges. To solve bioenergy problems, considerable efforts have been made to expedite the construction of large-scale crop residue utilization projects. In this study, three principal supported modes of large-scale crop residue utilization projects were taken as empirical cases in Hubei province bioenergy planning. In terms of the overall benefit and sustainable development, a third-grade evaluation index system was established. The analysis was carried out using the analytical hierarchy process, principal component projection, and grey relational analysis. The conclusion indicates that according to the evaluation values, the sequence from best to worst was crop residue biogas project, crop residue briquette fuel project, and crop residue gasification project. Nevertheless, there was no remarkable difference in the overall evaluation values. The biogas project had certain advantages in terms of the production cost, soil improvement, and expenditure saving, whereas the gasification project was comparatively insufficient in environmental efficiency, product benefit, by-product disposal, and technical rationality. According to actual evaluation results, the unilateral determination approach of the single weight index can be seen as being overcome through the unified adaptation of the evaluation methods. The research results can serve as a reference for making investment decisions to build large-scale crop residue utilization projects.

The growing population and economic development globally has led to increasing resource consumption and waste generation. This has generated concern at local, national and international levels on environmental issues including air quality, resource scarcity, waste management (including plastics) and global warming. The resulting antipathy towards fossil fuels and waste landfilling has spurred the demand for alternative bioenergy and biofuels production methods, making use of abundant biomass and waste feedstock. Although not new concepts, there has been renewed impetus recently to develop advanced thermochemical processes such as pyrolysis and gasification to treat biomass and municipal solid waste (including refuse-derived fuel therefrom). This is because these processes have the potential to add value to cheap and abundant materials by converting them into advanced biofuels and chemicals. The work presented in this paper is concerned principally with the technical analysis and review of new-generation, state-of-the-art systems based on fluidised bed reactors operated with biomass and solid waste. A comprehensive assessment of fluidised bed reactor types and operations is considered, with particular attention given to those processes aimed at the production of clean syngas for the subsequent synthesis of high-value products, including bio-hydrogen, synthetic natural gas (SNG), and liquid fuels.

“…Although most of the considerations above are applicable to biomass combustion, such a process presents particular modelling issues, and modelling approaches were reviewed by Dernbecher et al [11] or Haberle et al [12] and Chaney et al [13] for small-scale grate furnaces and boilers. A particular focus on CFD modelling of biomass gasification was reviewed by Mazaheri et al [14]. Gasification is a particularly complex process involving chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and thermochemical equilibrium, that in addition can take place in a wide range of gasifier designs currently being investigated [14], and with very different types of biomass feedstock.…”

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been firmly established as a fundamental discipline to advancing research on energy engineering. The major progresses achieved during the last two decades both on software modelling capabilities and hardware computing power have resulted in considerable and widespread CFD interest among scientist and engineers. Numerical modelling and simulation developments are increasingly contributing to the current state of the art in many energy engineering aspects, such as power generation, combustion, wind energy, concentrated solar power, hydro power, gas and steam turbines, fuel cells, and many others. This review intends to provide an overview of the CFD applications in energy and thermal engineering, as a presentation and background for the Special Issue “CFD Applications in Energy Engineering Research and Simulation” published by Processes in 2020. A brief introduction to the most significant reviews that have been published on the particular topics is provided. The objective is to provide an overview of the CFD applications in energy and thermal engineering, highlighting the review papers published on the different topics, so that readers can refer to the different review papers for a thorough revision of the state of the art and contributions into the particular field of interest.
