What is downdraft gasification? Is it safe?
Downdraft gasification uses high heat to decompose trash in a controlled process. Unlike with other waste-to-energy conversion processes, downdraft gasification is a much cleaner process, as there is no smoke or odor created. Downdraft gasification has made huge technological advances since it was originally used in the 1800’s. The GEMTM was designed to meet the rigors of the U.S. Department of Defense, which dictated that it had to be easy and safe to use. It’s proven to be safe to operate in an urban setting.
