Converting Waste Agricultural Biomass into a Resource - UNEP

Technical Description of Technology
The M2 uses gasification processes to convert any carbon based material into
a synthetic gas. Gasification uses heat and pressure which converts any
carbon containing materials into synthetic gas composed primarily of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen which has a large number of uses. Gasification adds
value to low or negative value feedstock’s by converting them to marketable
fuels. The feed stocks used to create syngas depends on what’s readily
available. Cheap low grade coal is a readily available supply. In Alberta, Tar
Sands provide an abundant fuel source. An application in India under
consideration utilizes cane stock from farming waste. Urban applications
include garbage and tires. Throughout North America, forestry, pulp and
paper waste can be used to be recycled into syngas and fed back into power
plants. Various other industrial wastes can be fed back into plants to recycle
“lost energy”, that would otherwise go to landfills.
According to the US department of energy, gasification may be one of the
best ways to produce clean-burning hydrogen for tomorrow's automobiles and
power generating fuel cells. Hydrogen and other coal gases can also be used
to fuel power generating turbines or as the chemical "building blocks" for a
wide range of commercial products.
