Burn biomass in boilers to produce high pressure steam -> turns turbine connected to a generator -> electricity is produced. What process is explained?

This method involves burning biomass along with coal in traditional power plant boilers and is the most economic way to produce electricity from biomass with thermal efficiency of 33 -37%

Heating solid biomass at high temperatures in anoxic environments to produce a fuel gas (syngas) containing between 20-50% the heat content of natural gas. The gas can be used to generate electricity, twice as efficient and with lower emissions.

- Biomass is heated to high T in anoxic environment to produce syngas

- Quickly cooled to create an oil-like liquid (bio-oil), with remnant solids as charcoal-like residue called “char”.

- The bio-oil can then be burned like petroleum to generate electricity while the char can be used for heating
