22. Modeling and exergoeconomic analysis of biomass gasification in a downdraft gasifier
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : In this work it is presented an equilibrium model, capable to predict the composition of the generated gas, its Lower Heating Value (LHV), the gasification efficiency, the ratio air/biomass and the ratio gas/biomass in a downdraft gasifier. The model describes the influence of the moisture content of the biomass and the gasification temperatures on the composition and properties of the produced gases, like the low heating value (LHV).

24. COMPARATIVE ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE GAS ANALYSES BETWEEN SMALL- AND LARGE-SCALE SUGARCANE PRODUCTION IN MAURITIUS
University essay from KTH/Energi och klimatstudier, ECSAbstract : This study uses energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) balances to evaluate how the scale of sugarcane cultivation affects the performance of a sugarcane bioenergy system generating exportable electricity from bagasse. Small-, medium-, large- and miller-planter systems, with cane field areas of less than 10 ha, 10 – 42 ha, 42 – 2000 ha, more than 2000 ha respectively, were modelled. READ MORE
