[Gasification] [Terrapreta] new address to the simple kiln

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Kurt, Sean and All:

Having written the text of I-14 ~30 years ago, I checked my copy and was 
glad to see that it says CO, not CO2. 

This quote appears in the "executive summary" section and is an overview 
of the complete thermodynamic analysis performed by (now) Prof. 
Desrosiers and myself in Chapter 6, (Section II, p. 136-176).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone serious about biomass gasification and combustion should be sure 
to understand these pages.  They have been the basis of my life work 
ever since (and many inventions and processes) ever since.  Any time I 
see a gas analysis, I check to see how closely it corresponds to these 
thermodynamic predictions at the peak temperature and the correspondence 
is amazing. 

Onward (I hope),

TOM REED      THE BIOMASS ENERGY FOUNDATION    THE BIOMASS ENERGY AND
