Gasification Guide

18.01.2007 - 18.01.2010
Research funding project
The main objective is to accelerate the market uptake of biomass gasification technology by developing a guidline on Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) issues that is accepted by relevant target groups and key market actors. Biomass gasification is a promising technology, that is energy efficient, safe, environmental friendly and that can contribute sigificantly to renewable energy generation. The technology is close to commercialisation but broad implementations are still hampered by various reasons. Leading gasification experts from around the world have identified HSE issues as an important barrier of technology deployment. Due to poor awareness and lack of understanding of HSE issues authorities tend to impose unrealistic and costly requirements on gasification plants. A broadly accepted HSE guidline would effectively tackle this barrier.
