Jeff,
Val Tiangco, CTO of BTI, did his graduate studies (~1986) on the use of rice husk to make engine gas. He did his dissertation and published several papers with Bryan Jenkins and John Goss on the topic. Today affiliates of Ankur Scientific Technologies sell gasifiers to drive engines with rice husk gas in Cambodia and other countries in South Asia. I dont know that the quality of the gas has changed any or whether gas cleaning has improved but it is being used. I understand that Ankur sales are very good at this time, as are sales of the Ankur look-a-likes from China and other South Asian countries.

Do you know of any advancements in rice hull engine grade gas production?
