[Gasification] "ecogas" defined

[francois chartier]

Just a thought - perhaps instead of using a name which
protrays confusing meanings for Neophytes - clutter -
wouldn't do any good. If we keep the rhetoric simple
and direct - perhaps making the technology look more
simple than it is, it would probably gain popularity
among the masses. - wood gas etc..
because the source of these gazes can be infinite it
would be nice to indicate the source to prevent
confused discussions. 
what do you think ?
