24 Combustion zone Gasification zone New design of gasifier: G-Volution no more limit in scaling-up, as there is no stationary fluidized bed anymore excellent gas-solids contact between catalytic bed material and product gas, so lower tar content increases of residence times for fuel particles as well as gases with regard to gas-solids interaction solids residence time distribution resembles a cascade of stirred vessels (dispersed downward movement of solids) 100 kw pilot plant at Vienna, University of Technology is in commissioning phase

28 Summary R&D on BioSNG is going on worldwide, but especially in Europe BioSNG has a very high efficiency (60-70% from biomass to SNG) One possibility for the transport sector (CNG cars) Method to use biomass also in large cities More info at Figure from Agnion
