Renewable dry biomass is extremely abundant, but only a highly selective small fraction is utilised for energy. Available technology for gasification could utilize a much wider variety and greater quantities of the biomass and provide significant energy while alleviating several pressing environmental concerns.

Gasifiers are defined as devices in which the dry biomass is transformed into combustible gases in processes distinctly separate from the eventual combustion of the gases.
