<DIV>Hi Tom, </DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 8pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt"><SPAN
lang=EN-US style="mso-ansi-language: en-us">The current status of gasification
for power generation in Sub Saharan Africa is very actual. In 2017, LTS
International and E4Tech (both UK) implemented Phase I of the Bioenergy for
Sustainable Energy Access in Africa (BSEAA) study. BSEAA is investigating
opportunities and challenges for the roll-out of bioenergy technology in
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and supporting the development of innovative solutions.
The study included six Case Study Reports related to biomass gasification, none
of them operated successful. All of them are imported technologies from India,
China, Canada and Dominican Republic.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 8pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt"><SPAN
lang=EN-US style="mso-ansi-language: en-us">I am involved in the Phase II study
of BSEAA. Main task is to investigate the barriers of implemented gasifiers
<STRONG>and</STRONG> define enabling conditions for successful adoption and
expansion of small scale biomass gasification technology in SSA countries.
</SPAN></P>

the question of Tom Miles during this project. Any suggestion or comments

<DIV>We are selling gasification units that are patented downdraft units that
handle about 160lb. to 180lb. per hour.</DIV>
<DIV>They go out as singles, twins or as a Quad Pack.</DIV>
<DIV>We can fit four units in a 40ft. ISO Container.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These units produce a fine, dry prilled (size of grains of rice) BioChar
which is sold on unprocessed at around US$1500 per ton or processed
down to 20 microns and then sold for around US$2850 per ton.</DIV>
<DIV>These units may be seen at University of Iowa.</DIV>
<DIV>They have only three main moving parts and pyrolysis takes place at very
high temperatures.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In many cases we look at combining with a biodigester and make pellets from
the digestate which can be used as fuel for gasifier or as fertilizer, we
re-cycle the water as either "A" Grade agricultural water or we make it potable
with a simple proceedure.</DIV>

is the current status of gasification for power generation in Sub Saharan
Africa? Where systems are operating in the 40-150 kWe range, 150-500kWe,
500kWe-20 MWe? Are gasification systems participating in current programs like
Power Africa? What fuels are begin used? Are the gasification systems
reliable?</DIV>
