Gasification of biomass as primary conversion technology for the generation of electricity using different prime movers has presented serious difficulties in its implementation practice in the past. The paper presents an assessment of the state of the art of the various possible biomass conversion path into electricity including gasification as a primary stage, and their limitations. The most widespread gas cleaning trains characteristics and their results in relation to the quality of gas are shown. The results of some success stories are discussed. It is presented at the historical development of biomass gasification research at the NEST research group at the Federal University of Itajub�¡ in Brazil.
