Recently we made a fuel study with Red canary grass which is a field crop. This specific fuel has a relatively high ash content, around 6% and the ash melting point around 1100°C (2012°F). The overall results was very good, the gas analysis showed around same values as with wood and the heating value was around 5 MJ/Nm3, as with wood fuel. As we are gasifying in a relatively low temperature we are handling "difficult" fuels very well, even if the ash melting points are low. Also we have no problems to handle high ash volumes. This autumn we will conduct a big fuel study with bark, peat moss, straw, torrefied wood and rice husks.</span></span><span style='font-size:8.5pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.5pt;color:black'><br><span class=apple-style-span>We have developed and built an industrial rated pilot plant that delivers 500 kW fuel power and which has been in operation for approx. 2000 hours since 2009.
