Integrated Assessment of Corn Husk and Cobs Gasification: Energetic and Environmental Perspectives in Central-West Brazil
Short Introductive summary
This research offers an integrated assessment of the gasification process for residual biomass, particularly corn husks and cobs, in Brazil’s Central-West Region. Employing a blend of numerical modeling and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the study examines gas quality and environmental impacts, emphasizing Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Acidification Potential (AP). Exploring corn biomass’s energy generation potential, the research aims to decentralize energy production and reduce environmental impact. Preliminary findings highlight variations in gas composition and environmental impact concerning gasification conditions and biomass feedstock. This study contributes valuable insights into optimizing corn biomass gasification processes while considering environmental implications.
