The energy conversion ratios in biomass gasification, allows comparisons between gasifiers and decide best performing one in an industrial process. The research used a test reactor type Imbert 7 KW, biomass sugarcane bagasse, wood and carob tree. Elemental and proximal analyzes were performed and thermal mass balance calculations involved in the conversion rates volumetric energy and mass (I). The calorific values of each biomass gas at a minimum temperature of 850ºC and 1050ºC optimum reactor operation where: 36779 kJ/kg of coal carob, 4603 kJ/kg of wood and 5009 kJ/kg of bagasse cane. While volumetric utilization rateswhere: 3509.39 of coal carob, 3804.39 Kj/Nm3 wood and 4847.83 Kj/Nm3 sugarcane bagasse. We conclude gasifies efficiency is 70%, the conversion rate is appropriate for estimating the calorific mass of the fuel gas produced can be recovered in a combustion heating value of the synthesis gas is about 10% power gas heating and heat losses are 30%.
