[Gasification] Syngas on Wiki_

Ken,
You have an interesting point. Presumably Methane is the model gas and any reasonable copies should be considered as being synthetic.
unfortunately methods entailing organic production do have some disadvantages involved with, environment, space, and time.
Which brings me to the question Iv always wanted ask: 
                                    Is it possible to get more gas production from "Microbes" if they are working under pressure? This is not a pun.
If animals can survive under say 20 antmospheres, Under simillar pressure, would  the Metobolism of microbes increase, giving a higher yeald of Syngas? 
Not knowing from which orifice the individul bug delivers the gas from, the possibility remains; "force feeding in this way"might increase production,
If so, the foot print of the production unit could be reduced to "Shade Tree size"

.HAPPY NEW YEAR

GF

To me, the relatively new technology that blurs the division that you folks are debating, between Producer gas/Woodgas/Syngas, is the fact that all of these processes can be used to make liquid fuels by microbiological fermentation. Stay in Wiki but switch to "Syngas fermentation". 
"Syngas fermentation process has advantages over a chemical process since it takes places at lower temperature and pressure, has higher reaction specificity, tolerates higher amounts of sulfur compounds, and does not require a specific ratio of CO to H2[2]. O.K. its not a pushover, but it is commercial!
