Numerical and experimental assessment of a downdraft gasifier for electric power in Amazon using açaí seed (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) as a fuel

The Amazon region is characterized by communities isolated from the grid that currently are using Diesel engines to produce electricity and that have residual biomass energy potentials between 60 and 500 kW. In this scenario, gasification appears as an evident choice as far as energy generation is c...
