Well said, Tom. I hope all is well with you.

Additional factors include higher thermal conversion, the option of a combined cycle operation increases the advantage further. I do not consider some of the current systems as "the right designs" because of their excess cost. Further, permitting an engine on produced gas should be significantly easier than a dual stage combustor as one can usually permit a diesel engine in any jurisdiction and a producer gas engine has substantially less emissions than a diesel engine, or a natural gas engine. Other factors arise such as BACT compliance, but those are not major obstacles. Sincerely, Leland T.

Only use a gasifier as a last recourse unless it's a hobby event.
