<pre wrap="">Dear all,
Here is the latest from Alexis Belonio who has major progress (and products) for electricity generation using rice husk gasification. Some are larger than 10 kWe.
I have no additional information, but will forward to the Listserv any further messages. Email addresses for Alexis and his son Michael are receiving this message also.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hi Paul,
I am developing such system on small scale, around 10 kWe. You can visit the following site at youtube

Sounds like a money producer!<br>
