The production of energy from waste materials and renewable raw materials is a central field of Christof Industries‘ research activities. Our wood gasification plant has been developed to commercial viability and is already in use in several European countries to produce electricity for industrial/public consumption and heat for district heating networks.
The technology concentrates on decentralised compact systems and processes for generating electrical and thermal energy from dried wood chips. Dried wood chips are converted into fuel gas via thermo-chemical combustion processes with three phases (pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction). The fuel gas is almost pure in consistency and, therefore, avoids tar. The process converts dried woodchips into electricity and heat, commonly in the form of electricity for public consumption and heat for district heating networks.
