As you now the IEA country reports are good but they often focus on the technical aspects of the research projects rather than the private installations. In the past VTT in Finland has published some very good catalogues of biomass equipment including gasifiers. Publications like that could be used as a starting point for a techno-economic brief, using operating systems to characterize cost and performance.
As an example the recently announced All Power Labs 25kWe Power Pallet made for European grid service was undoubtedly inspired by the success of the German gasifiers. Someone looking at the system will want to know something of the background of the unit. I don't think there is a resource besides the APL website that describes their system or points to existing installations and they have sold a few hundred.

There is a heat demand, no doubt. There is a market for small scale gasifiers to replace old boilers or customers considering buying a boiler, but someone needs to introduce them, like happening in Germany. And I fully agree that a database system would be useful of operational plants. The IEA would be a good starting point. H'm BR/Harrie
