Abstract: Biomass simply refers to all growing organic matter such as trees, grasses, and other land and water based plants. Biomass gasification is the process by which carbon energy, stored in the vegetation through photosynthesis, is converted to methane, the principal ingredient of natural gas. The fossil fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas are the remains of long dead plants, and the combustible elements in them were extracted from air and water by solar powered photosynthesis millions of years ago. If we were able to economically manufacture methane on a large scale from biomass, we would have speeded up the normal geological process of growth, decay, fossilization, and generation of natural gas and developed a perpetual methane economy.
