Idea behind Gasification Furnaces

Instead of using gas or gel fuel, these stoves burn scrap wood, grains and pellets. Most pellets are made from 100% recycled sawdust, but can also be made from wood chips, bark, agricultural crop waste, recycled paper or other organic materials.
Extremely efficient, dust free, smokeless with virtually free of toxins, today’s stoves burn much cleaner than older models. They’re easy to use and are better for the environment than gas, propane or oil furnaces. In addition, they are less costly to run.
Unlike combustion processes, gasification is an “oxygen-starving” process that converts solid fuels such as biomass, pellets, etc. into gaseous fuels. Gasification is uniquely capable of producing not only heat and power, but also can be used with downstream catalysts to convert the syngas to liquid fuels/chemicals like diesel, ethanol and hydrogen gas for fuel cell applications.
