Substitution of steam and inert transport gas by CO2 in a fluidised bed was investigated.
Woody biomass gasification tests were performed at 850 °C.
Substitution of steam by CO2 does not influence the process efficiency.
It can be used to adjust the H2/CO ratio to the synthesis requirement for DME.
If external H2 is used to adjust H2/CO, the impact on CO2 net emission is positive.
