Effects of throat sizing and gasification agents in a biomass downdraft gasifier: towards CO2-free syngas production
The influence of throat diameter and gasifying medium on gasifier performance is investigated using a CFD model. Lower throat ratios favour higher gasification efficiency, carbon conversion, and producer gas yield, with potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 50%.

About this collection
This themed collection has been motivated by the new wave of research on the design, analysis, and assessment of future hydrogen energy systems. Thermodynamic, technoeconomic and environmental analyses are central to such efforts to complement elements of socioeconomics and policy making. The purpose of this collection is to bring together the latest research findings of the international, multidisciplinary community of hydrogen energy on the system-level analyses of hydrogen technologies.
This collection is Guest Edited by Nader Karimi (Queen Mary University of London, UK), Manosh C. Paul (University of Glasgow, UK), Mohammad Hossein Doranehgard (University of Alberta, Canada), Larry K. B. Li (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong), and Freshteh Sotoudeh (Houston University, USA).
