Biomass Gasification: Needs more investigation
I first read about wood gasification during WW II England in a 1970's issue of The Mother Earth News. Clever way to overcome the fuel shortages, though crude and never efficient. If the process can be made efficient it can help reduce landfill waste and be another arrow in our quiver to wean us off fossil fuels. Good effort that needs more input of funds, IMHO. Thanks, Tuan

"Incinerates wood and coffee grounds at temperatures well above 1292 degrees"
Means you need an external power source to produce the gas and that power source is a primary pollutor; in carbon, ash, greenhouse gasses, and heat.
TANSTAAFL!

Make methane biologically
Makes more sense to digest organic waste anaerobically to produce methane, use that as fuel. No external power source needed, and the only byproduct is fertilizer.
