Abstract: Biomass becomes an important primary energy source as well as renewable energy source. As the most promising biomass utilization method, biomass gasification is gaining attention as a route for biomass energy production, but producer gas from this process usually contains unacceptable levels of tar. The tar control and convert is a key issue for a successful application of biomass-derived producer gas. A detail overview on tar chemical and physical properties, reforming mechanism and reaction kinetic model are summarized in this paper.
