[Gasification] Kalle

[Paul Anderson]

A char-gasifier has charcoal as its initial raw fuel.

And the resultant gases (called char-gas to distinguish it from woodgas) 
are primarily CO and H2 and some methane.   Very clean, without the tars 
of pyrolytic gases.

Disadvantage (historically) is that much energy in the wood (perhap 60 
to 70%) was simply wasted or worse, became polluting smoke.

But when the wood (biomass) can be pyrolyzed and the pyrolytic gases can 
be meaningfully used (as in TLUD stoves), now the char was made in 
environmentally favorable condition, without the wasted heat.
