Biomass energy perspective in Pakistan based on chemical looping gasification for hydrogen production and power generation.

Biomass has appeared as one of the most encouraging renewable energy sources for the replacement of fossil fuels. An extensive study about the prospective of biomass to produce renewable energy in Pakistan has been exhibited in this article, which takes into account Pakistan's current energy and future potential. A new generation of transformative energy conversion technologies has been developed, including chemical looping. This technique has the potential to control air pollution and clean fuel production, all of which have been major global challenges of this century. Through recent research, the study aims to aid in understanding of biomass-based chemical looping gasification and its development. CHP and CCHP systems are developed processes that produce power, heat, and cooling. Systems using fuel cells have greater efficiency, between 60 and 70%. Additionally, the SOFC-based power generating techniques are associated with the best electrical efficiency (67%). • In publications, adoption of chemical looping gasification for the production of clean fuel is primarily discussed. • For upcoming low-carbon applications, hydrogen is viewed as a possible energy carrier with a number of significant advantages. • Different biomass sources are taken into account for the production of high-quality syngas. • Layout of the integrated processes are shown with the help of figures.
