Abstract
Synthetic natural gas (SNG) production via steam-blown
gasification of biomass has been gaining more interest in
recent years. The 50-200 MW (fuel input) SNG production
concept proposed by VTT is based on steam gasification in
a dual fluidized-bed reactor, hot gas filtration and
externally heated catalytic reforming. The downstream
processes include ultracleaning units, such as acid gas
removal, before final methanation to SNG. Preliminary
tests were carried out in an atmospheric bench-scale
bubbling fluidized-bed gasifier to study indirect steam
gasification of typical Scandinavian feedstocks (wood,
bark and straw) with two bed materials, silica sand and
dolomite. The emphasis was on the gas quality.
Furthermore, the suitability of the product gas for
externally heated catalytic reforming was evaluated in
preliminary tests. The results obtained from these
gasification and reforming tests are presented in this
