Dodge V10 hauling hay with woodgas.Keith gasifier system Santa-Go, Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu Co., Ltd.. A wood gas generator is a gasification unit which converts timber or charcoal into wood gas, a producer gas consisting of atmospheric nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, traces of methane, and other gases, which – after cooling and filtering – can then be used to power an internal combustion ...
A bus, powered by wood gas generated by a gasifier on a trailer, Leeds, England, c. 1943. The first wood gasifier was apparently built by Gustav Bischof in 1839. The first vehicle powered by wood gas was built by T.H. Parker in 1901. [2] Around 1900, many cities delivered fuel gases (centrally produced, typically from coal) to residences.
Since 2008 in Svenljunga, Sweden, a biomass gasification plant generates up to 14 MW th, supplying industries and citizens of Svenljunga with process steam and district heating, respectively. The gasifier uses biomass fuels such as CCA or creosote impregnated waste wood and other kinds of recycled wood to produces syngas that is combusted on site.
Multiple types of solid fuel gasifiers are commercially available for coal, petcoke, and biomass gasification.Designs vary depending on fuel and intended application. As a result, they can differ in the composition of the syngas produced and the efficiency with which they convert coal energy content to syngas energy content - a performance parameter typically termed cold gas efficiency.

A top-lit updraft gasifier (also known as a TLUD) is a micro-kiln used to produce charcoal, especially biochar, and heat for cooking. [1] A TLUD pyrolyzes organic material, including wood or manure, and uses a reburner to eliminate volatile byproducts of pyrolization.
Biomass (in the context of energy generation) is matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms which is used for bioenergy production. There are variations in how such biomass for energy is defined, e.g. only from plants, [8] or from plants and algae, [9] or from plants and animals. [10]
This process is first used at the Gussing power plant in Austria [12] based on the steam gasification of biomass in the internally circulating fluidized bed. In the gasification process, fuel will be gasified at 850 °C [12] in the presence of steam to produce a nitrogen-free and clean synthetic gas. Charcoal will be burnt with air in the
Fermentation of biomass such as sugarcane, wheat or corn releases CO 2 as a by-product. Industry Pulp and paper mills. Cement production CO 2 produced in recovery boilers. CO 2 produced in lime kilns, such as when making cement. [17] For gasification technologies, CO 2 is produced during the gasification of black liquor and biomass such as the ...
