independence gasification

Independence Energy Services
wood gasifier and engine generator
patent pending
Overview
  • Our gasifier is the result of more than ten years of trial and error.
  • We have developed a system that uses waste wood (tree branches, sawmill slabs, etc.) chips them into small chunks, turns them into a gas, and powers an engine to generate low cost, green electricity.
  • The following slides depict our prototype. The commercial product will be enclosed in forty foot long shipping containers. Each unit is designed to produce 40 kilowatts and run continuously. Any home or other facility wired for 200 amp service can accommodate this output without changes to transmission or distribution cables.
