With the implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), the route of biomass gasification followed by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) to aviation kerosene has received widespread attention, which decreases human dependence on fossil fuels and meets the increasingly stringent carbon emission requirements. Although many reviews exist on biomass to aviation kerosene, few comprehensively integrate recent advancements in biomass gasification and FTS reaction mechanisms, which are the basis of product distribution regulation for jet fuel. This review fills this gap by providing a detailed analysis of the reaction mechanisms, catalysts, and production processes from biomass gasification to FTS process. Furthermore, we highlight research needs and future directions of biomass-derived aviation kerosene. This review underscores biomass gasification followed by the FTS process as a promising and sustainable pathway to aviation kerosene, and highlights key challenges and opportunities in industrialization.

Gasification has emerged as a promising platform to cope with recalcitrant organic waste within the framework of biomass-based biorefineries, producing syngas that can be fermented into valuable bioproducts. Despite its potential, syngas fermentation is based predominantly on pure cultures, which faces significant challenges, including the limited portfolio of generated compounds (primarily acetate and ethanol) and their low productivity. To address these bottlenecks, the potential of microbial consortia as effective platforms for syngas conversion has been evaluated.

Solid fuels are still widely used in household heating in Europe and North America. Emissions from boilers are released in proximity to people. Therefore, there is a need to minimise the toxicity of emissions affecting human health to the greatest extent possible.

Using biotar as a reburning fuel is a potential method for NO reduction. Furan, a typical biomass tar compound, is used to study NO reduction during cocombustion with biomass. The combination density functional theory (DFT) and ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) methods were used to study the detailed mechanism at the molecular level.

The weak absorption features of hydrogen and the coexistence of various interfering gases make it considerably challenging to achieve high-precision hydrogen detection in complex environments via tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS). To address these challenges, this study employed a spectral line overlap decoupling algorithm as well as a low-pressure detection strategy and designed a TDLAS hydrogen detection system based on wavelength modulation spectroscopy and a novel long optical path length (OPL) Pickett Bradley White cell (PBWC)-PBWC multipass matrix cell (MMC), aiming to realize hydrogen sensing in biomass gasification environments. To resolve interference from coexisting methane and carbon dioxide, a reduced pressure of 200 Torr was employed to mitigate spectral line overlaps and pressure broadening effects.

This study explores the potential of peanut shells as a feedstock for combined heat and power through biomass gasification, an alternative technology for sustainable energy production in remote areas. A comprehensive approach to 3E analysis, incorporating energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic evaluation, was applied to a pilot-scale plant, revealing promising results with an overall electrical efficiency of 20.6%, a combined heat and power (CHP) efficiency of 60.
