80% Energy Saving:
Salient Features / Relevant Data:

	High conversion efficiency of 70 - 80% from solid biomass to gaseous fuel.
	Each Kilogram of Biomass produces around 2.5 to 3.0 cubic meters of gas having a calorific value of 1000 - 1100 kilocalories per cubic meter.
	A Liter of liquid fuels (diesel / gasoline) can be saved with only 3 to 4 kilograms of biomass.
	Extremely clean and complete combustion of gas due high hydrogen content.
	Wide turn down ratio.
	Positive environmental impact through saving of biomass in mot cases.
	Positive impact on global climate i.e. reduced threat of global warming.

Indicative System Economics

While unit cost of energy / power production using “ BG- Ank” gasifier system depends on number of situation - specific parameters (i.e. prevailing feedstock’s prices, likely hours of operation etc.), it is generally seen to be one of the most economic alternatives because of the following basic consideration:

Please Note:
Capital intensity of the equipment is just about the lowest (except for 100% gasoline / diesel based generation). For example, 100kW power generation system has an installed cost of only around $320 per kW - much lower than the installed cost per kW of a 200 MW thermal power plant!!

Specific fuel consumption are very low - less than 100 c.c. of diesel / gasoline and 1 kg of biomass per kWHr of electrical output !!

Calculation Cautions:
The above data can indeed be used to estimate the unit cost of generation though site-specific economic calculations can only be provided on request on case-to-case basis.
