[Gasification] which one is better

[Dick Glick]

Hello All --

Gasification is, possibly, a 'small scale' use of biomass -- biomass should 
not be burned -- when separated, biomass waste should be made into compost 
and fertilizer (see, for example, http://www.rain.org/~sals/ingham.html)--  
when biomass is obtained from a single agricultural source -- methanogenic 
anaerobic fermentation -- is the only answer.  At least that's the opinion 
from this corner -- whatever the scale -- small or country-wide.

Best, Dick Glick
