Abstract:
With the limited reserves of fossil fuels and the environmental problems associated with their use, the world is moving towards cleaner, renewable, and sustainable sources of energy. Biomass is a promising feedstock towards attaining this goal because it is abundant, renewable, and can be considered as a carbon neutral source of energy. Syngas can be further processed to produce liquid fuels, hydrogen, high value chemicals, or it can be converted to heat and power using turbines. Most of the downstream processing of syngas occurs at high pressures, which requires cost intensive gas compression

Abstract:
Master of Engineering<br>Global warming and diminishing energy supplies are two major current concerns. Disposal of plastic wastes is also a major concern. The aim of this research is to address these three concerns by developing a solar powered process, using waste plastics as fuel to generate energy. Research into: i) solar concentrators for high temperature thermochemical processes, and ii) pyrolysis/gasification of waste plastics has been separately reported in the literature. In this study the aim was to bring these fields of research together to design a solar receiver-reactor suitable f

Abstract:
Utilisation of biomass resources and CO2 abatement systems in currently exploited fossil resource based energy systems are the key strategies in resolving energy sustainability issue and combating against global climate change. These strategies are affected by high energy penalty and high investment. Therefore, it is imperative to assess the viability of these energy systems and further identify niche problem areas associated with energy efficiency and economic performance improvement. The current research work has two parts. The first part presents techno-economic investigation of thermochemi

Abstract:
Gasification is a process used to convert any carbonaceous species through heterogeneous reaction to obtain the desired gaseous products of H2 and CO which are used to make chemicals, liquid transportation fuels, and power. Both pyrolysis and heterogeneous gasification occur in commercial entrained-flow gasifiers at pressures from 4 to 65 atm with local gas temperatures as high as 2000 °C. Many gasification studies have been performed at moderate temperatures, heating rates, and pressures. In this work, both pyrolysis and char gasification experiments were performed on coal, petroleum coke, an

Abstract:
To evaluate CO2 emission mitigation potential and cost effectiveness of rice husk utilization, Life Cycle Analysis was conducted for 9 scenarios. The results showed that, gasification is the most efficient CO2 mitigation. From cost analysis, the cost mitigation can be achieved by replacing the current fossil fuels in cooking scenarios. Among the power generation scenarios, it was found that 30MW combustion and 5MW gasification power generations were the most economically-efficient scenarios. The briquette combustion power generation appeared less cost-competitive than direct combustion, whilst

La gazéification des biomasses lignocellulosiques apparaît actuellement comme une solution technologique prometteuse permettant la production d’un gaz à haute valeur ajoutée, utilisable dans de nombreuses applications. Cependant, les tensions qui commencent à apparaître sur le marché du bois incitent les acteurs du secteur à se tourner vers d’autres ressources lignocellulosiques telles que les résidus agricoles, les déchets verts municipaux et les boues de STEP. Suivant les cas, ces déchets sont vus comme des effluents à traiter dont le coût peut être parfois nul ou négatif. L’objectif de ces
