It described a design called the "stratified downdraft gasifier" which solves several drawbacks of earlier types. The European Union sponsored a wood gas project in Güssing, Austria, starting in 2005. This project was an electric power plant with a wood gas generator and a gas engine to convert the wood gas into 2 MW electric power and 4.5 MW heat
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.
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.
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.
However they continued to curate and make available early designs and technical information about gasification and gasifier engineering. [2] In late 2016, their principal product was a 25 kW Power Pallet biomass genset which included formerly optional combined heat and power (CHP) and Grid-tied Electrical System features as standard equipment.

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]
Second-generation gasification technologies include gasification of forest and agricultural residues, waste wood, energy crops and black liquor. [8] Output is normally syngas for further synthesis to e.g. Fischer–Tropsch products including diesel fuel, biomethanol , BioDME ( dimethyl ether ), gasoline via catalytic conversion of dimethyl ...
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
