Doug,
Anyone who has the enthusiasm and the where-with-all to reach the manufacturing stage of developing gasifiers should be given the benefit of the doubt. It is a long road. The proof of any claims is the sustained and reliable operation of a commercial system. Gasifiers installed in the US must meet standards of industrial construction, safety and environmental impact similar to those in Europe, regardless of where they are manufactured. We look forward to seeing third party verified results of their operation. Then we can line up to buy them. AGT and Biogen are private companies. They have been visible at conferences and they have more than one gasifier in operation at least at the 250 kWe scale. They recently installed two 500 kWe gasifiers in Italy near their main offices. It is likely that they will operate those units for significant periods before they start exporting systems. Like others they have had ups and downs during pilot, small scale and commercial operations. They have been selling projects. We hope that those projects are successful. http://www.agtgasification.com/eng/agt_srl.htm http://www.biogendr.com/app/en/frontpage.aspx Tom Miles
