Gasification
Basics
- The Process of Converting Solid Combustable Materials into Carbon Monoxide , Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide via partial oxidation
- Assuming a "pure" feedstock, it should only produce the gasses (Some ash may be produced from impurities in the charcoal, gasification of Biomass / RDF will produce ash)
- Can be as simple as a Rocket Stove , or as complex as a grid scale Fluidized Bed Gassifier
