The current challenges for biomass gasification process are biomass storage and tar contamination in syngas. Co-gasification of two biomass and use of mineral catalysts as tar reformer in downdraft gasifier is addressed the issues. The optimized and parametric study of key parameters such as temperature, biomass blending ratio, and catalyst loading were made using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) on tar reduction and syngas. The maximum H2 was produced when Portland cement used as catalyst at optimum conditions, temperature of 900 °C, catalyst-loading of 30, and biomass blending-ratio of W52:OPF48. Higher CO was yielded from dolomite catalyst and lowest tar content obtained from limestone catalyst. Both RSM and ANN are satisfactory to validate and predict the response for each type of catalytic co-gasification of two biomass for clean syngas production. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85097072733&doi=10.1016%2fj.ijhydene.2020.10.268&partnerID=40&md5=9eb50e551f9dd6f573bdefd1823b67cd id_number: 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2020.10.268 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Hydrogen Energy volume: 46 number: 59 pagerange: 30559-30580 refereed: TRUE issn: 03603199 citation: Inayat, M. and Sulaiman, S.A. and Inayat, A. and Shaik, N.B. and Gilal, A.R. and Shahbaz, M.
