ABSTRACT
Research in biomass gasification with subcritical and supercritical water is reviewed. Catalytic conversion of biomass in sub- and supercritical water is a low-temperature gasification technique that can be carried out from 473 to 973 K. Research is categorized according to temperature and water density, since reaction mechanisms greatly depend on these variables.
This research was partially supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a Grant-in-Aid for the COE project, Giant Molecules and Complex Systems.
