Project Update: Vermont Gasifier (Fact sheet - Revised)

A new demonstration biomass gasifier in Burlington, Vermont, is a major advance toward biopower systems of the 21st century. The purpose of the project is to verify design and operating characteristics of this gasification technology at an intermediate size. The Vermont gasifier is rated at 200 tons of biomass per day. The demonstration will allow further scale-up to a first-of-its-kindcommercial gasifier to be demonstrated in the future at an industrial or utility scale.
