Dear all,
Can't burn wood in engines.
Mmm, Not strictly true. I have personally seen a quite neat 20kW gas turbine
operating on 10mm sawdust. Don't get me wrong it's not at a commercial level
yet but it's not so far from market and it should not be too difficult to
scale up either. Given that gasification after all these years is still
being done in backyards, perhaps this is a better alternative?
