Solar Syngas

Solar

• 2 kWhr/kg of biomass requirement for gasification
• 100kWhr yields 50 kg gasified.
• Day of solar (100kW) gets us 300 kg of fuel, or 75 gallons or $250 of fuel, or $91250 value per year.
• If this process is used with solar heat, then we can potentially extract both syngas and charcoal.

Burn

• About 5kg wood is needed to produce 1 kg of diesel [1]. To make 250 gallons of diesel per day, we would need 20 kg wood per gallon diesel. This is 5000 kg of wood. About 2 dump trucks of wood (dump truck is 10 yard).
