What distinguishes the Concord Blue plant from wood combustion and from other gasification processes?
The essential factor of all combustion processes is that the combustible is completely oxidized, that means burned and that a lot of heat, as much as possible, is extracted from the flue gas for example in a steam boiler. The heat may either be used directly as heat or indirectly for the electric power production. The flue gas would then be given off to the atmosphere through a chimney after thorough cleaning.
