Abstract: Power production from biomass can occur through external combustion (e.g. steam cycles, organic Rankine cycles, Stirling engines), or internal combustion after gasification or pyrolysis (e.g. gas engines, IGCC). External combustion has the disadvantage of delivering limited conversion efficiencies (max 30–35%). Internal combustion has the potential of high efficiencies, but it always needs a severe and mostly problematic gas cleaning.
