There are different types of conventional feedstocks such as coal and biomass that have been gasified in either individual or blended form. The advantage of co-gasification over typical gasification is the ability to obtain the desired product gas composition by varying the blending ratio and feedstock. Furthermore, it is applicable for many feedstocks such as sewage sludge, black liquor, glycerol, and municipal solid waste. These feedstocks have good thermophysical properties, however, gasification of these feedstocks is difficult using a conventional technique, thus highlighting the need for co-gasification. Recently, the effect of feedstock type and their blending for syngas production have attracted interest among researchers especially when feedstocks are non-conventional. Several review articles have been published on gasification of individual coal and biomass. However, no review that exhaustively dealt with the catalytic co-gasification of a different kind of conventional and non-conventional feedstock. The feedstock type and blending ratio of feedstock are the most important parameters that affect the co-gasification process. The objective of the current paper is therefore to review the effect of feedstock type and their blending ratio on syngas quality, co-gasification performance, and tar formation for catalytic co-gasification of both conventional and non-conventional feedstocks. This review highlights the need for research and development in co-gasification and also provides the research gap for further research to develop a state of art technologies. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85061338037&doi=10.1016%2fj.rser.2019.01.059&partnerID=40&md5=3899e6eafdc184fd1eef54a457d65642 id_number: 10.1016/j.rser.2019.01.059 full_text_status: none publication: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews volume: 105 pagerange: 252-267 refereed: TRUE issn: 13640321 citation: Inayat, M. and Sulaiman, S.A. and Kurnia, J.C. and Shahbaz, M.
