Okay, after reading this three times, it seems your goal is to cull the
coal gas of its CO and use that as automotive fuel. I think, if my
memory serves me correctly that the energy lost in the various
conversions necessary would make this even more energetically
disadvantageous than the already c. 10/1 energy density (dry
biomass//delivered energy at engine) of biomass <=> liquid
gasoline/diesel fuel already is. For driving an internal combustion
engine you will lose way too much energy in conversion to make this
anything but a financial hole in the ground. That's why automotive
gasifiers directly connected to the engine via a filter, cooling and
control system were developed in the first place.

Coal gas as automotive fuel
Agriculture, forests and urban centres in India produce annually
about 1000 million tons of combustible waste biomass. Its energy
content is almost 3 times as much as the petroleum that we currently
use in our country. Samuchit Enviro Tech developed a simple and
nonpolluting technology for converting combustible biomass into
charcoal. When hot charcoal is treated with steam, it produces coal
gas, consisting of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. We have
used this reaction in an experimental stove, in which the coal gas is
used as fuel. Can anybody suggest a simple method of removing carbon
monoxide from coal gas?
