Integrated pyro-gasification process of heterogeneous mediterranean wood species

Within the framework of the PSR 2014 Regione Calabria “Energia Slow” project the pyro-gasification process of various wood species was held in a micro-cogeneration plant able to transform the chipped wood into 45 kW electric power. The whole process from timber felling and harvesting to chipping, drying, gasifying and feeding the generator engine was managed by the same agroforestry enterprise; the main steps of the process has been monitored and measured.
