There are a wide variety of processes which fall under thisgeneral term- but all share the characteristic of transforming solidhydrocarbon material into simple hydrocarbon gases. Theresulting gaseous fuel is usually called: "syngas", "woodgas","producer gas", "generator gas" or "suction gas".Through gasification, we can convert nearly any solid wastebiomass into a clean burning, carbon neutral, gaseous fuel.Whether starting with wood chips or coffee grounds, municipaltrash or agricultrual waste, the end product is a flexible gaseoushttp://www.allpowerlabs.org/index.html (1 of 3) [10/9/2008 08:03:56]
