FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: method includes a gasifying step for gasifying solid biomass (2) in a gasifier (6) to obtain raw synthetic gas (3). Further, conditioning of the raw synthetic gas (3) to purify the raw synthetic gas (3) to obtain purified synthetic gas (4) having a molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide between 2.5:1 and 0.5:1; one of the conditioning steps is catalytic treatment in a reformer (18). Further, using the purified raw synthetic gas (4) for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor (5) to obtain a liquid hydrocarbon product (1). The invention also relates to apparatus for realising the present method.
EFFECT: present invention provides a novel method and apparatus for producing liquid biofuel from solid biomass.
