Abstract
Environmental issues such as climate change, global warming and energy supplies need to augment existing power generation facilities and have got the attention to develop gasification of biomass source, solar energy, wind energy etc. Biomass corresponds to various kinds of recently dead and living plant cell, anatomy, morphology and composition of which is distinct for different parts and species of plant (Shafizadeh, 1982).
