	Biomass gasification technology is a concept that has been around for over 100 years. Simply put, biomass gasification takes a dry, carbon-based fuel and converts it into a usable synthesis gas, or syngas, that can be be used for various processes such as cooking or manufacturing. This technology is is now back in demand due to several factors. One of the prominent reasons biomass gasification is becoming important again is rising gas prices as well as United States dependence on foreign oil. These topics are now at the forefront of many American’s minds. A personal biomass gasification chamber would give consumers an inexpensive alternative to expensive natural gas that now dominates the market. The effects of such a technology could have extensive implications on the economics of the oil markets, as well as the ability of people around the world to locally produce their own fuel.

	Similarly, this chamber would be using renewable energy because it is based on the gasification of biomass. Biomass is a broad term that essentially means any sort of carbon based material that can be used as fuel. In our case, we would be using biomass logs that would be gasified in the chamber. This process is much more environmental-friendly than simply burning the biomass because the gasification process has significantly less emissions. Also, the ash byproduct can be used as fertilizer for plants and crops. Charcoal production can be enacted also, as long as the correct conditions are held within the chamber. Similarly, reducing the use of fossil fuels is extremely important as issues of global warming seem to be cropping up everywhere. Since biomass is renewable it would eliminate the need to drill for fossil fuels, something that would significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are created by humans.

			Compressed Fuel Gas (CFG)- proven technology for gasifying wood exists.

	~~Compressed Fuel Gas (CFG)- proven technology for gasifying wood exists.~~ It is not a huge leap to compress and store this gas, as a local option for fuel gas. Huge market potential. Essential to bakery, or metal melting. Update: I've since found out from a wood gas forum that the high percentage of hydrogen in wood gas makes it difficult to store, as hydrogen embrittles metal containers.		==Research==

	: Hydrogen is corrosive to steel only because it reacts with residual carbon atoms. The corrosion problem is solved by using very low-carbon steel. This is of course structurally weaker and so must be complemented with an outer shell of regular steel. This idea was what led to the breakthrough in the Haber-Bosch process, fixing nitrogen from air using hydrogen. Of course, non-metal liners can also do this trick --[[User:Rasmus\|Rasmus]] 11:01, 18 January 2010 (UTC)		: Hydrogen is corrosive to steel only because it reacts with residual carbon atoms.
