Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC):

Cost Efficient & Cleaner Power Plant

Gasification:

Advantages:

• Zero net contribution to CO2 cycle • Abundant and cost efficient source • Renewable fuel source • Indigenous

Sources: • Wood (chips, pellets,) • Sugar cane bagasse • Agricultural stalks • Domestic refuse • Coconuts • Rice husk • Etc.

Objectives: • Create a more efficient power plant • 1st & 2nd Law of Thermodynamics analysis • Making BIGCC a more feasible & reliable as

an alternative power plant

• Higher energy content • Producer gases H2 & CO • Partial combustion (20% energy

supports gasification)
