    Biomass waste gasification is widely recognized as a sustainable and efficient method for converting organic waste into valuable energy, making it a focal point in global research. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of publications related to this field, focusing on articles indexed in the Elsevier Scopus database from 1977 to 2023 using search terms “biomass waste,” “biomass residue,” “waste biomass,” and “gasification”. Initially, 981 articles were identified, with subsequent refined analyses narrowing the focus to 592 publications, using VOSviewer for in‐depth examination. The analysis revealed that the year 2023 saw the highest publication count with 73 articles, followed by the year 2022 and the year 2020, with 61 and 54 articles, respectively. China, the USA, and India emerged as the leading contributors, accounting for 9.68%, 7.07%, and 6.75% of the total publications, respectively. Top institutions by citations are the University of Saskatchewan (259), Hamad Bin Khalifa University (169), and Paul Scherrer Institut (113). The most prolific researchers in the field include Gulyurtlu, I., Cabrita, I., and Dalai, Ajay K., with citation counts of 1296, 1290, and 1020, respectively. The journals Energy, Fuel, and Energies were identified as authors most preferred publishing choice with 26, 23, and 22 publications, respectively. The keywords “Gasification,” “Biomass,” and “Syngas” were the most frequently occurring, with 194, 147, and 52 occurrences. Keyword analysis also revealed five thematic clusters. These findings offer a detailed overview of the research landscape in biomass waste gasification, emphasizing key contributors, emerging trends, and thematic areas, providing valuable insights for guiding future research in this domain.

    The study explores co-gasification of palm oil decanter cake and alum sludge, investigating the correlation between input variables and syngas production. Operating variables, including temperature (700–900 °C), air flow rate (10–30 mL/min), and particle size (0.25–2 mm), were optimized to maximize syngas production using air as the gasification agent in a fixed bed horizontal tube furnace reactor. Response Surface Methodology with the Box-Behnken design was used employed for optimization. Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) analyses were used to analyze the char residue. The results showed that temperature and particle size have positive effects, while air flow rate has a negative effect on the syngas yield. The optimal CO + H2 composition of 39.48 vol% was achieved at 900 °C, 10 mL/min air flow rate, and 2 mm particle size. FTIR analysis confirmed the absence of C─Cl bonds and the emergence of Si─O bonds in the optimized char residue, distinguishing it from the raw sample. FESEM analysis revealed a rich porous structure in the optimized char residue, with the presence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and aluminosilicates. These findings provide valuable insights for sustainable energy production from biomass wastes.
