    WHEN charcoal is available (as it can be when there is abundant
    woody biomass), the process of making electricity (or shaft power)
    with  a char-gasifier is superior to the wood-gas approach that
    requires the cleaning of the gases (which could be seen as an
    "uncecessary step" that is avoided by useing charcoal as the fuel in
    the gasifier).  This is especially true when the electircal output
    is to be 10 kWe or less.<br>

            I do not understand the decision to make charcoal then use a
        gasifier to make electricity and heat.<br>
            You are adding an unnecessary step to the process.<br>
            There are off the shelf units that will gasify the organic
        matter and make electricity and heat, and their manufacturers
        will offer the engineering you need to select a system if you
        can quantify the amount of the waste stream, the electricity
        needs and the heat requirements for the dryer.<br>
