Document Description
The project will advance the state of cellulosic biomass to renewable gas (RG) technologies by utilize an existing pilot-scale gasification system and data and lessons learned from a bench scale catalytic reactor to design, develop, and demonstrate a whole-system pilot-scale RG process with a scaled-up catalytic reactor and new gas separation process using forest fuels from high hazard zone feedstock. The proposed process will produce a methane-rich RG and mixed-alcohol byproducts, including methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol. The Project Team will produce data from more than 500 hours of operation to validate the technology as a cost effective approach to achieving key technical and economic targets. The project will result in the ratepayer benefit of increased natural gas reliability, lower costs, job creation, air emission reductions, and improved forest management and watershed protection
