Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

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. CO 2 charge @ $100/tC. From Hertwich et al.
