Stovers, this is a question that has been on my mind for a long time. There are always attempts to purify fuels by removing the non-combustible part from them (like removal of carbon dioxide from biogas). In combustion of biomass, one combines the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel with oxygen. If we redifined this reaction to state that it is the oxygen that burns in the presence of carbon and hydrogen, then one has to accept the fact that it is the air that needs purification by removing the excess nitrogen. Nobody thinks of doing that. Yours A.D.Karve
