Abstract
yield and CGE. The maximum CGE combined with the minimum tar amount produced could be obtained with values of 800 °C and 1.2 for the gasification temperature and the air-to-biomass ratio, respectively. The numerical simulation results will be used to improve the performance of the proposed system.
