Dear Anil, Very informative papers. Thanks.

We worked very hard in gasification technology in 1990s and realized that gas cleaning was the major problem so GTZ findings were like deja vu. Our two papers on gasification (one on sugarcane leaves and other on wood) will tell you about our findings. Everybody at that time told us that we are incompetent since these are solvable problems but we knew otherwise and your findings corroborate on that. http://nariphaltan.virtualave.net/Gasifier.pdf (sugarcane leaves gasification) http://www.nariphaltan.org/woodgasifier.pdf (small scale wood gasifier) Cheers.
