? It's Wood Gasification isn't it?

"Wood gasification is the process of heating wood in an oxygen-starved environment until volatile pyrolysis gases (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) are released from the wood. Depending on the final use of the typically low-energy wood (producer) gas (150 Btu/ft¹ (5.6 MJ/m¹)), the gases can be mixed with air or pure oxygen for complete combustion and the heat produced transferred to a boiler for energy distribution. Otherwise, the gases can be cooled,filtered, and purified to remove tars (a major concern for any wood gasification process) and particulates and used asfuel for internal combustion engines, microturbines, andgas turbines."

And one of Laidlaw's mgmt-- Louis T Bravakis -- is one of 3 inventors awarded patent number 5,279,234 on January 18, 1994 for a controlled clean-emission biomass gasification heating system/method.
