[Gasification] Sweden takes biogas to a new level: methane fromwood chips to fuel 75, 000 cars

[Rob Williams]

I was with a group that visited Göteborg Energi AB this past June.  At the 
time, they were proposing to make synthetic natural gas for their gas 
distribution system using syngas from biomass (thermal) gasification.  The 
natural gas system would also feed their CNG fuel station network. 
Renewable methane would not be subject to their fossil fuel tax and would 
receive carbon credits.

They were considering either pressurized oxygen-blown gasifier [see the 
CHRISGAS project, Varnamo, Sweden http://www.chrisgas.com/ ] or an indirect 
near-atmospheric gasifier like that at Gussing, Austria. I don't know if 
they settled on a gasifier technology.
