Abstract

Biomass gasification is a chemical conversion of solid biomass renewable energy constituents into a gaseous combustible substance often regarded as producer gas through progressive thermochemical synthesis. The gasification method produces gas fuels required for power generation which is considered the best alternative to fossil fuels that accounted for 80% of domestic energy and industrial consumption with consequential impressions on global warming and greenhouse effects. In the current research, the biomass gasification system were used to produce electricity from the chemical energy contained in organic recyclable agricultural waste (Corn Cob) used as feedstock gasifier in the energy conversion process. Corn Cob feedstocks renewable organic materials produced from plants were used to synthesize the syngas that contained the electrical energy required to power the internal combustion engine. The utilization of pure hydrous or anhydrous ethanol in internal combustion engines is the direct lignocellulose bioconversion of Corn Cob requiring microbial fermentation, thermochemical pre-treatment test, designed to accelerate enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose into fermentable sugars, varying the temperature conditions to produce maximum production of biofuel on an industrial scale to drive the internal combustion engine. The current research utilized biomass energy to generate 150 KW worth of electricity from biomass gasification process, utilizing Corn Cob feedstock gasifier to generate electric power for rural electrification.

AB  - Biomass gasification is a chemical conversion of solid biomass renewable energy constituents into a gaseous combustible substance often regarded as producer gas through progressive thermochemical synthesis. The gasification method produces gas fuels required for power generation which is considered the best alternative to fossil fuels that accounted for 80% of domestic energy and industrial consumption with consequential impressions on global warming and greenhouse effects. In the current research, the biomass gasification system were used to produce electricity from the chemical energy contained in organic recyclable agricultural waste (Corn Cob) used as feedstock gasifier in the energy conversion process. Corn Cob feedstocks renewable organic materials produced from plants were used to synthesize the syngas that contained the electrical energy required to power the internal combustion engine. The utilization of pure hydrous or anhydrous ethanol in internal combustion engines is the direct lignocellulose bioconversion of Corn Cob requiring microbial fermentation, thermochemical pre-treatment test, designed to accelerate enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose into fermentable sugars, varying the temperature conditions to produce maximum production of biofuel on an industrial scale to drive the internal combustion engine. The current research utilized biomass energy to generate 150 KW worth of electricity from biomass gasification process, utilizing Corn Cob feedstock gasifier to generate electric power for rural electrification.
