I do not worry about this group going very far. First of all with a char residue, their conversion rate isn't very high. Secondly, being a downdraft system, secondly, they require a larger size biomass which eliminates a great deal, thirdly, although they use an ESP to clean the gas, the size and configuration is old and outdated. <BR>
What are they going to do with a large pile of char residue? <BR>

But if this technology is the most appropriate, and you were going to rely on it for your energy supplies across all seasons in various countries, would you have enough knowledge about gasification to select this system from the information supplied? If you do get excited about it's potential, can anyone offer which attributes get your adrenaline pumping?</B></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>
