Gasifier

CURTI Energy has built a first prototype gasifier, capable of converting waste wood into electrical energy and heat.
Gasification is a chemical-physical process through which a combustible solid (wood, agricultural waste, coal) is converted into a combustible gas, known as syngas. Syngas is used to fuel conventional engines and to produce electrical energy and heat. The advantage of this technology over other available technologies for the recovery of energy from biomass is the production of more valuable (electrical) energy on a micro-scale.
