<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce running cost and improve power generation efficiency in a power generation device in which a biomass is a source of fuel, a biomass multiplication device used for the power generation device, and a power generation method. <P>SOLUTION: The power generation device has a steam vaporization means for making a liquid mixed with the biomass and water instantaneously vaporize by heating the liquid, a first power generation means for converting steam pressure at the time of the vaporization of the liquid into electric energy, a hydrogen gas creating means for creating hydrogen gas from the vaporized steam, and a second power generation means for converting hydrogen gas created by the hydrogen gas creating means into electric energy by electrochemically burning the hydrogen gas. The electric energy can be obtained from the biomass at two stages by using the first and second power generation means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
