Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production
Schema of synfuel synthesis through solar-driven biomass gasification. Solar energy produces both heat for gasification and H 2 via electrolysis. High temperature heat for biomass gasification is obtained from a molten-salt system in a solar concentrating tower. Land area for solar energy collection (m 2 /ton fuel/yr).
