Abstract
Different aspects of the system for simultaneous production of electric and thermal energy (cogeneration) through biomass gasification are presented. Various features of the processes of biomass preparation, syngas production, syngas cleaning and combustion in the cogeneration set are presented and discussed. Based on the characteristics of the syngas produced proposed is a variety of systems for cleaning and cooling the syngas and also for tar removal. Thermal and mass balances are presented for each step of the gasification process. Recommendations for the use of the produced electrical and thermal energy are also made.
