Abstract	Considering the rapid increase in the energy demand for power generation and industrial processes over the last years, the potential offered by biomass and solid wastes for solving some of the world’s energy and environmental problems is widely recognized. This research work reports the results of the experimental investigation of alternative biomass crops regarding their applicability as fuels in an allothermal steam gasification process. The examined biomass fuel, the Jatropha Curcas nut, grows in South America and is not commercially available yet. The ash melting behaviour as well as the proximate and the ultimate analysis of Jatropha Curcas are reported. The nuts are gasified in pelletized form, as well as in complete seeds, in an allothermal bubbling fluidized bed reactor, which uses the technology of high temperature heatpipes to transfer the required heat to the gasification zone, using steam as gasification medium. The experimental measurements show that the producer gas compositions for both forms of Jatropha (pellets and seeds) are similar compared to results obtained from gasification of wood pellets with even higher hydrogen content. This supports the fact that alternative biomass fuels could be successfully used for H2rich producer gas synthesis.
