Biomass resources can play an important role in the energy transition, being a dynamic feedstock that can be transformed either into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Biomass gasification is a versatile way to convert waste into energy. In this work, the modeling and simulation of two different gasification processes using wood and black liquor as feedstock are performed using Aspen Plus®. The surrogate models for these biomass-based gasification systems are generated considering different techniques (e.g. artificial neural networks, random forest, and Gaussian process regression) using an Active Learning Artificial Intelligence (ALAI) approach. These techniques are compared in terms of their capabilities for predicting the thermodynamic behavior of the gasification systems for the different biomass resources. As a result, the surrogate models developed were able to estimate the process design and operating conditions, and the Gaussian process regression outperformed the artificial neural networks and random forest techniques. The generated models could be helpful to be further used for replacing the simulation systems in other applications, such as multi-objective optimization, at expense of lower computational requirements.
