A) Biomass
B) Cracking
C) Direct burning
D) Gasification

Answer 1

Direct burning is possible to extract maximum energy from wood through

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D. Gasification.

Gasification:

• Gasification is a cost-effective way to turn low-value fuels and residuals into synthesis gas (or syngas).
• Power, steam, hydrogen, and basic chemicals like methanol and ammonia are all produced using syngas.
• Gasification takes place in a gasifier, which is a high-temperature/pressure vessel where oxygen (or air) and steam come into direct contact with coal or other feed materials, initiating a sequence of chemical processes that convert the feed to syngas and ash/slag (mineral residues).
