Abstract
Gasifi cation of biomass as primary conversion technology for the generation of electricity using diff erent prime movers has presented serious diffi culties in its implementation practice in the past. Th e paper presents an assessment of the state of the art of the various possible biomass conversion path into electricity including gasifi cation as a primary stage, and their limitations. The most widespread gas cleaning trains characteristics and their results in relation to the quality of gas are shown. Th e results of some success stories are discussed. It is presented at the historical development of biomass gasifi cation research at the NEST research group at the Federal University of Itajubá in Brazil.
