NOVELTY - An integrated process for converting solid biomass into electricity via a gasifier-fuel cell coupling involves gasification, particle separation, catalytic reaction, absorption of sulfur and transfer to a fuel cell for electricity generation.    USE - For the conversion of solid biomass into electricity.    ADVANTAGE - Enables the conversion of solid biomass into electricity by means of a gasifier-fuel cell coupling which combines several process stages in a unified way.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A process for converting solid biomass (61) into electricity by means of a gasifier-fuel cell coupling, involves (A1) feeding the biomass into a gasifier (1), (A2) feeding a gasification medium (82) into the gasifier (1), (B) feeding the product gas (62) from (1) into a particle separator (2), (C) feeding the particle-depleted gas from (2) into a catalytic reactor (201-205), (D) feeding the product gas (63-66) into a sulfur absorber (3, 4) and (E) feeding the sulfur-free gas (65-68) from (3, 4) into a fuel cell (17) for electricity production (92). An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a solid biomass conversion plant for the above process, comprising a gasifier (1), a connection from the gasifier (1) to a particle separator (2) for transferring product gas, a connection from the separator to a catalytic reactor (201-205), a connection from the reactor to a sulfur absorber (3, 4) and a connection from the absorber to a fuel cell (17).
