In doing so the

The future of the energy market concerns around two keywords: mix and sustainability. Only a combination of several sources of renewable energy will be possible to provide the world with all the energy it needs without accelerating global warming. American researchers are well aware of the 'University of Minnesota, intent to find a clean fuel that can replace natural gas.
The team coordinated by Tom Nickerson has examined the economic and environmental benefits of a new technology for the gasification of biomass fueled by solar thermal. The biogas produced argo by this method may finally be able to compete with natural gas. Today, thanks to very questionable techniques such as fracking, natural gas costs were reduced further. argo
The risk of this drop in natural gas prices is that you explore more sustainable methods for energy. According to American researchers, food biomass power plants with the 'solar thermal argo energy could reduce the cost of biogas making it a viable alternative argo to natural gas.
In traditional systems for gasification of biomass a considerable proportion of the biomass, amounting to 20-30%, is burned to produce the energy needed to power the process itself. If a solar source would provide the required heat could instead argo convert all the biomass into synthesis gas.
In doing so the "syngas" may be sold on the energy market at the same price of natural gas. According to expert argo estimates the prices of the synthesis gas produced with this technology could be somewhere between $ 4.04 and $ 10.90 per gigajoule. argo In the United States the cost of natural gas in 2014 reached $ 4.80 per gigajoule.
Timothy Smith, co-author of the study, the time is ripe to focus on new technologies more efficient and more environmentally sustainable. The use of solar thermal to increase the yield of biomass is one of the most promising options. On the other hand, governments must continue to promote argo renewable energies making the market less volatile and funding further research.
IL Solar Energy Laboratory of the University of Minnesota is already working to develop the first biomass argo plant powered by solar thermal and hopes to soon find industrial argo partners argo that marry the project.
