- Generators for Kilns: Organic Rankine Cycle (COSSPP.com)
"An ‘Organic Rankine Cycle’ turbine can be employed to convert, what would otherwise be ‘waste’ heat streams in many industrial processes, to electrical power for on-site use. Here, Riccardo Vescovo explains the processes and describes how his company is making electricity from ‘free’ fuel at industrial plants across Europe."

- How Much Thermal Energy Does the Syngas Produce? (TechnologyReview.com)
"This week, city counselors in Ottawa, Ontario, unanimously approved a new waste-to-energy facility that will turn 400 metric tons of garbage per day into 21 megawatts of net electricity--enough to power about 19,000 homes." In this scenario, it takes 19 metric tons of biomass to generate a megawatt of electricity. 06-09
- How Much Thermal Energy Does the Syngas Produce? (TerraPreta.BioenergyLists.org)
"The plant is converting 5 ton of DRY MSW to 2 ton (approx) of Charcoal."
"At present the plant is not using the Gas. Gas, is burning in a Combustion Chamber & generating 1 MW of thermal power." 06-09
- Plans for a Biomass Gasifier (Woodgas.com)
"The “superficial velocity” (hearth load) of a gasifier is the most important measure of its performance, controlling gas production rate, gas energy content, fuel consumption rate,power output, and char and tar production rate.
"The superficial velocity, SV, of a gasifier is defined as:"
"SV = Gas Production Rate/Cross Sectional Area = (m3/s)/(m2/s) = m/s"
"A low SV causes relatively slow pyrolysis conditions at around 600°C, and produces high yields of charcoal - 20-30%, large quantities of unburned tars, and a gas with high hydrocarbon content and high tar (volatile) content. A high SV causes very fast pyrolysis, producing less than 10% char-ash at 1050 C and hot gases at 1200-1400 C in the flaming pyrolysis zone. These gases then react with the remaining char-ash to yield tars typically less than 1000 ppm, 5-7% char-ash and a producer gas with less energy." 05-09

- Biochar and Energy Generation (MotherEarthNews.com)
"Frye is now producing a high quality biochar and has sold his first ton at a net price of $480 ($600 a ton for the char and $120 a ton transport costs) to a farmer in New Jersey who is testing its qualities for his crop of corn and soybeans." 06-09
