<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>You ask</STRONG>:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is anyone aware of a US commercial producer of
small-scale, solid-fuel (bio-coal fired) power plants in the 1 to 20 MW
range?<BR><BR><STRONG>Please define your version of bio-coal, as it can have
differing interpretations. It suggests charcoal, if so, one might expect for you
to consider a number of options. </STRONG></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2><STRONG>Tell us more. because there is a huge gap between raw and
"pre-charred" fuel gasification. Your range of outputs stretch credibility to
supply a pre-carbonized fuel for 20MWe, so what is the direction of your
enquiry? Possibly you are researching the capabilities of the
technology, but 1-20MWe is rather big when discussing biomass gasification
systems. You might also comment on the end use of the gas, boiler of
engine power generation? </STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>This forum has an affinity with
discussing these issues, because the future needs what we may be able to do,
given the right challenges, and your question should trigger off comment from
the accumulated expertise.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
