The Earth is facing such significant crises as climate changes, air pollution, habitat loss and deterioration in ecological balance. Therefore, applications which cause greenhouse emissions must stop immediately. In this regard syngas production from biomass gasification plays an important role in reaching clean hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier and source. Biomass gasification is an alternative to fossil fuel-based processes due to its thermochemical process where carbon-based solids covert into H2, CO2, CO, CH4, H2O, heavy hydrocarbons and tar since high carbon conversion occur and only low greenhouse emissions appear. In this work, the effects of various process conditions including equivalence ratio, steam to biomass ratio, temperature and biomass to lignite ratio are investigated considering 9 different biomasses on the product gas fractions and exergy values. 9 simulations are performed for both downflow fixed bed and fluidized bed gasifiers, resulting in total of 18 simulations via ASPEN Plus. The results of this study are crucial in enhancing the utilization of the biomass for renewable energy production.
