They won! As a result we have paidhigher prices for foreign oil and funded the terrorism that has taken a million lives,culminating in 9/11 in the U.S. Check it out at METHANOL.Now methanol has become even more important because one gallon of methanol canmake ten gallons of biodiesel, a superior replacement for petroleum diesel.

http://www.woodgas.com/performance of any other biomass cooking device because it first turns the wood togas, and then burns the gas with the correct amount of air. They put out up to 3 and 6kW of heat (3kW is comparable to the big element on an electric stove). They burnonly 10 and 20 g of fuel/min (40% efficient). While they can be used indoors withminimal emissions, we recommend that all cooking be done outdoors or under ahood.. We hope similar designs will be used in developing countries where the needis greater, but we are developing our product first in the U.S., so we have developeda company to manufacture, market and distribute the stove.We believe that these stoves will have a much wider application in the developingcountries of the world. See our WoodGas Stove page for other information aboutWoodGas stoves. We hope to see a billion of these stoves in use in the next the nextfew decades.We have re-issued our 3 volume "Survey of Biomass Gasification" from 1980 as aone volume "Encyclopedia of Biomass Thermal Conversion". The NationalRenewable Energy Lab, (SERI then, NREL now) commissioned it as a prerequisitefor me to build gasifiers. It contains chapters by various experts on many aspects ofthermal conversion and other aspects of biomass for energy. I wish there weresomething more current that covers all aspects of biomass, but this is the best todate. See this and our other books on gasification and biomass in the BEFBOOKSTORE.SITE OVERVIEWBiomass Energy is the oldest, most widespread and practical form of renewableenergy. The residues from agriculture and forestry could provide 20% of U.S. energy.Biomass has been a major concern of mine since 1974, the first "energy crisis". Thispage has lots of information on the properties and availability of biomass in its manyforms, particularly moisture content, fuel densities, and the biomass analyses andhttp://www.woodgas.com/ (7 of 9) [10/9/2008 08:18:41]
