Abstract: This paper reviews data available in the literature on biomass gasification parameters in order to elucidate the general information common for different gasification systems fueled with different biomass feedstocks by applying principal component analysis (PCA). Focus was given to the co-gasification of crude glycerol derived as by-product in biodiesel plants, with olive kernel derived from olive oil processing plants, a lignocellulosic biomass locally available in the Mediterranean region, which might be considered as an important step towards economic and sustainable biodiesel production, particularly in small and medium-scale plants. The PCA was applied for the first time on the literature-based input data sets of the thermochemical conversion processes of various biomass, aiming to: (a) characterize syngases obtained under different conditions during co-gasification of crude glycerol and olive kernel, (b) compare syngases obtained by co-gasification and co-pyrolysis of crude glycerol and olive kernel, and (c) assess general information common for different gasification systems, comparing the syngas from co-gasification of crude glycerol with olive kernel with those produced by other non-woody and woody biomass gasification processes.
