List ofPublished Papers

The following is a list of published papers which contian information about gasification and pyrolysis. Obtain these papers through the normal channels (libraries and subscription web sites for published papers) and read any of the following papers to learn more about this great process or family of processes which:

• enables carbonaceous fuels to be used for their energy and chemical products in the most efficient way
• allows renewable fuels to be utilised in a manner which ultimately will allow civilisation to wean itself off carbonaceous fuels into the use of renewable fuels not only for energy but also for the building block organic chemicals used in our refineries for all those products nowadays based upon oil and coal
• minimises the production of abnoxious and toxic by-products, especially air-borne pollutants.
