Japanese research make new biomass heaters
Japanese researchers say they?ve developed a new type of biomass-fueled heater (PDF) that could provide high-efficiency, sustainable heating to millions of homes across Asia. Many people in the Far East currently heat their homes using charcoal burned on small, hibachi-style grills ? not the most efficient means of providing heat. (PDF) - Read More

Gasifiers for village level applications
Reseach in the past shows that compared to gasifiers fueled with wood or agricultural residues, charcoal gasifiers present less operational problems and are be recommeded for village level applications. Micro scale gasification systems (1-10 kw) can be used by small and medium farmers for providing power to irrigation system.

Gasification can be done at any level?
Gasification can be used at any level from the small scale on-farm utilizing farm waste as a feedstock to highly technological uses and at extreme heat seldom seen on earth outside volcanic eruptions, and lightning strikes but it is more complex to run at the small scale and works best in large scale biomass gasification plants. - Read More
