Does anyone have any data on the percentage of nitrogen typically found in wood, and what affects this percentage, e.g. age of tree, soil conditions, nutrients available etc.? Where is this nitrogen in the wood, e.g. in the ash, or as part of a molecule in the wood structure? How much of the nitrogen forms ammonia and cyanide in a gasification process, and what influences this? Regards, Jim Bland Enecon Pty.
