Global
Research References on Biomass Gasifiers :
(Direct and indirect study references)
Tremendous amount of research references have
gone into the Biomass Gasifier Technology, hee
are what we have been able to find for the view
in case anybody gets interested in further research
and development relating to this technology
for the betterment of Energy Scenerio in the
developing and under-developed world.
While the idea behind indicating these reference
is not to encourage anybody to misuse this information
but to build better awareness about the confirmed
fact that Biomass Gasifier Technology is a great
great alternative which should be adopted by
as many nations as possible in light of the
Energy Crisis and also to uplift the rural masses.
Because unless the rural mass of any country
is lifted up and made better, the country does
not progresses well, comparatively.
Before going to any references we would suggest
that you go through the weblink of the Tata
Energy Research Institute, New Delhi, India,
who has indeed make a systematic study on Biomass
Gasifiers and many other Renewable Energy Sources’
equipments and is one of the best institutes
for getting actual real life references in light
of their in-depth studies by their field teams
by going into hundreds of villages and research
reflects actual situations faced in developing
and under developed nations, where BIOMASS GASIFIERS
are indeed needed very much to improve the life
style of millions of people.
