Background<br />

<strong>Biomass</strong> resources are widely dispersed,<br />

so it costs a lot to collect a large amount <strong>of</strong> biomass<br />

Small-scale gasification system is desirable for on-site use.<br />

Downdraft gasifiers<br />

are <strong>of</strong>ten used for small-scale in Europe.<br />

It is compact<br />

<strong>and</strong> product gas contains little amount <strong>of</strong> tar.<br />

But it needs uniform size <strong>of</strong> biomass for successful operation<br />

<strong>and</strong> cannot treat unutiized biomass (bark, bamboo, grass).<br />

Motivation<br />

In Japan, there is currently a strong dem<strong>and</strong><br />

for fuel flexible gasifiers, that are able to convert biomass<br />

difficult to treat (bark, bamboo, grass etc.).<br />

bark bamboo grass<br />

We started the development <strong>of</strong> Rotary Kiln gasifier<br />

supported by NEDO project in 2003<br />

Conclusion<br />

1. Rotary kiln gasifire system is effective for<br />

gasification <strong>of</strong> biomass <strong>of</strong> irregular size<br />

2. Tar can be removed completely by thermal<br />

reforming<br />

3. <strong>Biomass</strong> power generation is not able to<br />

follow the electrical load variation, but it may<br />

be based by the generator connected to the<br />

emergency power system, even in no grid<br />

such as disaster area<br />

4. A motor vehicle engine can be used for<br />

biomass power generation<br />
