ABSTRACT
Biomass is one of the renewable and potentially sustainable energy sources and has many possible applications varying from heat generation to the production of advanced secondary energy carriers. It has almost zero or very low net CO2 emission since carbon and energy are fixed during the biomass growth. Biomass has been recognized as a major world renewable energy source to supplement declining fossil fuel resources. The scenario illustrates the key role of hydrogen in a long-term transition towards a clean and sustainable energy future. According to this scenario, biomass gasification will become a dominant technology in the future. Produced gas was sampled from one of the sampling loop ports using a gas-tight syringe for gas analysis injection. The Teflon-coated side of the electrode was exposed to the air-side in alkaline fuel cell, and thereby prevented leakage of electrolyte to the air-side and allowed oxygen to permeate.
