The invention provides a method for preparing 
biomass-based 
methanol, which comprises the following steps: a) 
cracking biomass to form biological oil vapor and 
biomass carbon 
powder; b) performing gas-
solid separation of the biological oil vapor and performing a 
water vapor reforming reaction to obtain a biological oil reformed synthesis gas; c) 
grinding and mixing the 
biomass carbon powder, a catalyst and a bonding agent, 
drying the mixture, performing a reduction reaction by using 
hydrogen, heating the product of the reduction, performing a 
coal gasification reaction and a reverse 
coal gasification reaction of the product of the reduction and the biological oil reformed synthesis gas, condensing and 
drying the obtained 
mixed gas to obtain biomass reformed-modified synthesis gas; and d) performing a synthesis reaction of the biomass reformed-modified synthesis gas, condensing the obtained reaction 
tail gas, and obtaining the biomass-based 
methanol from a 
liquid product. The method can effectively convert a biomass-based synthesis gas into the biomass-based 
methanol, uses the rich, environmentally-friendly and 
renewable biomass as a 
raw material, achieves high methanol yield and selectively, makes 
reaction conditions mild and can be used for industrial production.
