Victor,
This is not a simple question that you ask. You may be aware of that. A
simple answer is not possible. In my opinion, the market is weak, but mostly
because there is no awareness of the availabilty of a small gasifier. I am
very interested if you have something available in the size range of 50-350
tons/day. What types of materials are you capable of gasifying? Feedstocks
can range from Municipal Solid Waste to farm crop residues to Coal, wood or
Peat. Matching a Gasifier to the available feedstocks is critical, or the
inverse, matching the feedstock to your Gasifier.

Regulate is a more proper term than forbid. I think all States regulate
burning in some way. There are exceptions to all regulations. 'Open burning'
and 'gasifiers' do not seem to belong in the same conversation. Explain your
thoughts?
