Pyro-gasification of thin wood-chips in pure CO2: Experiments and modelling

The paper focuses on the pyro-gasification of thin wood particles in pure CO
₂
at 850°C under high heating rate conditions (similar to fluidized bed gasifiers). The aim is to assess the potential use of CO
₂
as gasifying medium and to learn more about its effects on the pyrolysis as well as on the char gasification stages. Experiments and numerical modelling provide answers on the unfolding of the CO
₂
biomass pyro-gasification process.
