Abstract

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is one of the most convenient sources of fuel for cook stoves. The main reasons why LPG is widely adopted for house hold are: it is convenient to operate, easy to control, and clean to use because of the blue flame emitted during cooking. However, because of the continued increase in the price of oil in the world market, the price of LPG fuel had gone up tremendously and is continuously increasing at a fast rate. With this problem on the price of LPG fuel, research centres and institutions are challenged to develop a technology for cooking that will utilize alternative sources other than LPG. The potential of biomass as alternative fuel source to replace LPG is a promising option. Henceforth this project work focus on fabricating an environmental friendly, low cost, fixed bed (down draft) biomass gasifier that completely utilize producer gas and converts it into efficient energy resource.
