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></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; "><br>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. After very successful operating results the technology has been verified by ETC in Sweden who are one of the worlds most respected research and development centre for renewable fuels with focus on gasification.<br><br>We have taken our first commercial order of a full-scale systems to Pite Energi, a local energy company in Pitea in northern Sweden. The system, which will be commissioned in late September this year will deliver 2.3 MWth and 1.3 MWe. The fuel used in this system is wood pellets. The engine/generator solution is delivered by Cummins Power Generation which will verify the engine model (QSV91) for approx. 5000 hours before launching as a commercial model. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; ">The cost of this system is today 4,6 MUSD installed, which means 3,500 USD/kWe. We are calculating with a price reduction down to approx. 3,000 USD/kWe after the first ten (10) sold systems.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; "><br>There is a sales brochure to download at www.mevainnovation.se where you can read more and see a picture of the pilot plant. I can't send it to the list it as it's over 1 MB size.We are right now finalizing computer rendered pictures from the full scale plant as well of all big equipment components which I can send later.<br></span><div> </div><div>If you have additional questions please feel free to ask.</div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></span></font></div><font size="2"><font face="Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt"><br>Yours Sincererly<br><br>
