Gasification can produce several useful outputs – either syngas or bio-chemicals. Whatever the output, the syngas generated must be analysed: either to adhere to Ofgem incentive schemes or calculate volumes.
We absolutely love our GFM Gas Analysers! Not only are they reliable, compact, easy to use, high quality, accurate and visually pleasing, but also incredibly multifunctional. Thank you for creating such a practical and ingenious instrument! The team at Gas Data are also very knowledgeable, always friendly and helpful.

I absolutely love the portable gas analyser! Works perfectly and I have to say a lot more user friendly than previous ones that I’ve used, so thanks for that.

Biomass is a renewable, organic resource made up of agricultural crop residues, solid municipal waste, animal waste, and forest residues.
Gasification works by converting biomass or organic materials into Syngas (or synthesis gas) – comprised of a mixture of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide. High temperature chambers heat the biomass and the syngas siphoned off.
Biomass gasification is a useful process as it allows for the conversion of a variety biomass feedstocks, for example wood chips, into more practical gaseous fuel sources. The primary product of the biomass gasification process is syngas, which is comprised of a mixture of carbon monoxide (20-35%), hydrogen (20-30%), methane (10-25%), and carbon dioxide (10-20%).
Syngas can be extremely useful for a number of practical applications. For example, syngas can be used to generate power in gas turbines, internal combustion engines, and even CHP systems. Syngas can also be used to produce other biofuels such as methanol, ethanol, and biodiesel – all of which can be used as substitutes for fossil fuels in industries such as transportation and logistics.
The Ofgem incentive programmes are part of the UK’s push to generate electricity from renewable sources. In order to qualify, syngas production must comply with rules surrounding the biomass of the gasification stock. Anywhere with biomass stock can set up a gasifier and start generating electricity using syngas.
Gas Data equipment analyses syngas composition before it is fed into a generator, as stipulated by the Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). In order to qualify for the incentive scheme, syngas must have a minimum Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of 2MJ/m3. Gas Data syngas analysers calculates GCV on the user’s behalf, ensuring accurate results are sent to Ofgem.
