[Gasification] "ecogas" defined

Mike,

Possible your translation to English creates confusion:

No, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not a combustible gas that can be collected and 
reburnt, as it would need to be CO (carbon monoxide).  CO2 is the result of 
the oxidation zone (exothermic heat) in a gasifier, but it then must pass 
through a charcoal bed with temperatures of over 850C  to become CO 
(reduction). It requires a large amount of heat, and the reduction process 
is called endothermic (heat consuming).

No, more like a snake eating it's own tail. (:-)
