Study shows value of combining solar thermal energy with biomass gasification to produce natural gas substitute

Monday, February 9, 2015 - 14:30 in Mathematics & Economics

Even at historically low natural gas prices, bioenergy may not be out of the running—it just may need a little help from the sun. A new study from researchers at the University of Minnesota examining the financial viability of solar-heated biomass gasification technologies that produce a natural gas substitute product concludes that combining these renewable resources can make economic sense.
