As I have previously posted to the list the electrical power input to the AlterNRG process is about 2.5% of the total heat input allowing for the conversion to electricity. In the AlterNRG scheme you can think of the plasma heated bed like a high temperature hot plate that maintains temperature for conversion at the grate and melts the ash fraction which is recovered as slag through the bed. Because you have a hot bed it allows you to control gasification air more closely and make a higher quality gas. It is still fundamentally an updraft gasifier but with an externally controllable slagging bed.

More specifically, "Plasma energy In" vs "Chemical energy Out"... Thanks!
