Özet

Gasification, a method of producing hydrogen, is an alternative way to obtain clean, sustainable, and domestic energy using coal and biomass resources. Gasification can be achieved with several methods or using various reactor designs, and plasma gasification is one of these methods. Plasma gasification has advantages compared to conventional gasification systems regarding syngas cleaning and gasification rates. Tar production, the greatest problem in fixed bed gasifiers, can be reduced and higher carbon conversion rates can be achieved with plasma gasification systems.
