Biomass gasification is used to generate producer gas for the sustainable development. Now a days down draft gasifier is most widely used due to its characteristics like non production of tar production. Presently in India, few biomass based power plants are in use because of lack of knowledge and promotional policies of Government. Proper knowledge is essential for the smooth operation of biomass based power plant in full capacity. The main objective of the present study is to focus on the effect of moisture content on the gasification efficiency out of several influencing parameters of gasification technology.
