[Gasification] Straw Fueled CHP

Greetings all.

Daryl's initial request makes me interested in looking that direction once
again, since I am located in the "heart if the Wheat-Belt, in Canada" I
would think that I should have done tests in straw much sooner than
now. (since I've literally tested most bio-mass on the planet).

Many of the local farmers indicated to me some 7-9 years ago, that they
felt it was unfeasible, however this might be a good time to review that
option for a convenient feedstock.

Noting that Daryl is looking for something NOW, I will not be able to help
him, but the interest intrigues me.
