Biomass-Based Gas Turbine Systems for Power Generation: Sustainable Feedstocks and Environmental Benefits

This paper explores the significance and operational mechanisms of biomass-based gas turbine systems, which present a renewable and sustainable substitute for conventional fossil fuel-based electricity production methods. These systems utilize biomass as a source of fuel to produce heat, which is then converted into power through a gas turbine. The process involves the combustion of biomass fuel to heat a working fluid, such as air, which subsequently drives the turbine to produce electricity. Biomass can be derived from various organic materials, encompassing urban solid trash, forest residues, and agricultural residues, making it a versatile and sustainable fuel option. The paper also includes a practical case study, highlighting the system's advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it identifies future trends, emphasizing the importance of efficiency enhancement. To achieve this, scientists are increasingly proposing hybrid systems that combine biomass-based gas turbines with other technologies. This approach aims to optimize performance, reduce emissions, and contribute to guaranteeing a future with more sustainable energy. The study underscores the potential of biomass-based gas turbine systems to play a crucial part in the shift to renewable energy sources.
