[Stoves] Gasifier for community street lighting

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Alexis

 

Very interesting! Very comprehensive.

 

As the system efficiency (raw fuel to delivered lighting) is about 10-12% is
it possible that the fuel could be used (maybe steam?) to generate power by
some other means?

 

If you have a small, inefficient steam engine could you generate electricity
at an efficiency of 15-20%?

 

Regards

Crispin

Hi All,

 

Alexis Belonio sent us a report on the recent community street lighting
project in the Philippines. d

They are working together with local businesses and have built a small scale
gasifier powered by discarded rice hulls.

More detail can be found in their report, posted on our site in pdf form
