GAS-L: Fw: Latest overview of gasification for biomass energy .

[Cordner Peacocke <cpeacocke@care.demon.co.uk>]

Dear All,

There's nothing better than contacting the people responsible for running 
and operating the project,or companies, and sometimes what is not said is 
more informative than what is said, as Thomas Koch has clearly illustrated.

I have offered in the past to summarise what is happening in the UK, if 
other countries would do the same - no one, however, has taken me up on my 
offer.

Unfortunately, the data on the BTG website is rather old in some cases and 
not verified, which is a major difficulty and is not all inclusive.

Here in the UK, we have several gasification projects, at various stages 
and some claims are made which are not simply verifiable, or even simply true.

Project ARBRE [8 MWe] is closed down, and we all wait to hear some more 
positive news from the current plant owners, EPRL on it's future.

Briefly, there are approximately 10 small-scale gasifiers in the UK in 
operation, with varying degrees of success operating from 75-250 kWe with 
operational hours from 100- 9000, running on feedstocks from wood chips to 
sewage sludge.
