Abstract
Gasification is an effective technology for the formation of producer gas from biomass with least greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical properties of shelled maize cobs. The length, moisture content and bulk density of maize cobs were determined as per the standard procedure. It was found that range of length, moisture content and bulk density of maize cobs was suitable for being used in a downdraft gasifier.
