Thermal Gasification of Biomass

The objectives of this Task 33 are to review and exchange information on biomass gasification (BMG) research, development, demonstration, and commercialization, seek continuing involvement with bioenergy industries and to promote cooperation among the participating countries to eliminate technological impediments to advance the state-of-the-art of thermal gasification of biomass. The ultimate objective is to promote commercialization of efficient, economical, and environmentally preferable BMG processes, for the production of electricity, heat, and steam, for the production of synthesis gas for subsequent conversion to chemicals, fertilizers hydrogen and transportation fuels, and also for co-production of these products.

Participating countries:

• Austria
• Denmark
• European Commission
• Finland
• Italy
• The Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• USA.

Activities of Task 33 started on January 1, 2004 and will end on December 31, 2006.
