PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this project, we will develop a highly stable internal circulating fluidized bed that can be applied to various biomass wastes by using a low-cost clay catalyst that is easily available in Indonesia and by giving the circulating fluidized bed a loop seal structure that is less likely to become unstable under a wide range of operating conditions. Furthermore, by connecting this to an energy-saving low-pressure methanol synthesis process that does not require advanced operational control, we will establish a biomass gasification and methanol synthesis process as an appropriate technology suitable for use in developing countries. By building a thermochemical gasification and liquid fuel production system suitable for Indonesia's economic and technical conditions, we will promote the spread of gasification power generation and liquid fuel production systems using biomass waste, which is abundant in the country, and contribute to promoting the use of renewable energy in Indonesia.
