Provided is a fuel gasification equipment capable of sufficiently contacting particulates of a solid fuel with a bed material without scattering and reliably completing pyrolysis of the solid fuel to achieve improvement in cold gas efficiency and in C and H conversion rates and reforming of tar in a gasification gas. A fuel supply pipe 14 is connected to a side surface of a gasification furnace 2 at a position lower than an upper surface of a fluidized bed 1 for supplying the solid fuel into the fluidized bed 1. Confluence promoting means 15 is provided to allow the solid fuel supplied from the fuel supply pipe 14 into the fluidized bed 1 to join a flow of the bed material supplied from the downcomer 7 to an inner bottom of the fluidized bed 1.
