Biomass will play an important role in the future global energy infrastructure for the generation of power andheat, but also for the production of chemicals and fuels. Distributed generation (DG) of power has a great potential forsupplying power to the remote areas. The use of gas engine integrated with biomass gasifier is a technologically andcommercially viable option for the decentralized generation. However, the sustainability in the supply of biomass in remotevillages is an important issue. Biomass gasification means incomplete combustion of biomass resulting in production ofcombustible gases consisting of Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen (H2) and traces of Methane (CH4). This mixture is calledproducer gas. The production of producer gas called gasification and takes place at temperatures of about 1000ºC. Thereactor is called a gasifier. Various types of waste - namely those resulting from Mediterranean farming (rice husk, olivebagasse, nut shells, etc.) - have been used for energy purposes in power plants equipped with technologies that range fromwell-established direct combustion systems to gasification systems that are currently being developed. This paper contains adescription of processes and technologies related to direct combustion and gasification of agricultural & agro-food waste.
