Abstract
|
The extensive use of fossil fuels has led to increased greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution, contributing to global warming and climate change. Utilizing biomass as a renewable energy source provides a clean and environmentally friendly alternative, reducing carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions while supporting sustainable environmental management [6,7].
Economic Significance
Biomass is widely available, particularly in agricultural and industrial regions. Developing an efficient gasification system allows for converting agricultural and industrial residues into usable energy, reducing dependence on imported fuels and lowering energy costs. Moreover, it promotes local economic development and creates employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector [8,9].
Technical and Scientific Significance
Conventional gasification technologies face challenges such as low conversion efficiency, tar formation, and operational instability. Researching and designing an optimized biomass gasifier contributes to advancing scientific and engineering knowledge of thermochemical conversion processes. It also improves syngas yield and quality while minimizing harmful by-products, thereby enhancing overall system performance [9,10].
Strategic and Social Significance
Developing efficient and locally applicable gasification systems strengthens energy independence and national sustainability efforts. It encourages the optimal use of local biomass resources and raises societal awareness regarding clean energy technologies and their role in sustainable development [6,7].
