Wood pellet production. The increase in demand for wood pellets means there is more interest in how biomass
pellets are made. To make biomass pellets, the right skills and equipment are needed.

Exploring the Wood Gas Vehicle
By Levi Quinn
There are many types of vehicles that existed long before the petroleum and diesel burning vehicles
that we have today. One of these vehicles is the wood gas vehicle from the World War II era. It is not
still in production today but science is considering all possibilities when it comes to creating fossil fuel
alternatives. The wood gas car used several decades ago was at that time an alternative to those who
had little other alternative.
The wood gas vehicle was used during the war by soldiers that had little to no access to oil. The war
made it impossible for many people to get the oil and gas needed to fuel regular vehicles. Oil has been
at the heart of many great disputes which is just one more reason to find a way to reduce and
eventually eliminate our high demand for it. If we could find adequate alternatives, many oil related
issues would gradually disappear.
The wood gas vehicle uses a gasifier to produce energy for the vehicle. It is the product of thermal
gasification of carbon containing materials such as coal. This is not known to be one of the cleanest
ways to produce energy for a car. But back in the war times when it was necessary, it was a viable and
efficient alternative.
Wood gas is not entirely efficient though. It is a highly flammable substance. The content is heavily
made up of such things as methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The flammability makes the
wood gas car a potentially dangerous means of transportation. It would not be a realistic option on
today’s roads. It would likely never meet lega
