Sentences with phrase «using syngas»

I think you'd be much better off just drying and pelletizing the cellulosic material and using a syngas generator to produce carbon monoxide and then fuel your internal combustion engine directly from the CO which requires very little modification to the engine — about the same as the modifications required to run it from natural gas or propane.
