Gasifiers are systems which, starting from different materials (including some types of wastes), extract gaseous fuels to be used for the production of electricity.
In practice, molecular dissociation (pyrolysis) is used to directly convert organic materials into gas; via a heating process and with reduced quantities of oxygen, they are completely destroyed by breaking down molecules into smaller ones (carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane). It results in a “synthesis gas” (syngas) comprising of mainly methane and carbon dioxide. The most widely spread and tested applications include specific types of wastes, such as wood chips, tyres, plastics, biomasses (organic waste, wood, etc.). In the case of biomasses, the energy caught by the photosynthesis in those organic substances can be released by either burning syngas in a boiler to use the heat, or by feeding a steam turbine. Then, syngas is used to produce both electricity (with a performance two to three times higher than a standard incinerator) and heat.
Gasifiers are very versatile systems, of different types and power, which can be built directly on site, with the advantage of reduced transport costs and pollution. They are especially suitable for the agricultural sector since they allow the use of land that is unproductive or unprofitable to produce electricity.

We are particularly active in this energy field which, with a relatively modest investment in the building and management stages, produces continuous and real profits with high development potentiality in the medium and long term.
