Biomass gasification household stoves work by high-temperature conversion of biomass in a restricted oxygen environment to a mixture of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. The hydrogen and methane are then burned without emitting pollutants.

Objective:

1. The objective of the project was to design and fabricate a biomass-fired gasification stove.
2. To test the efficiency and effectiveness of the fabricated biomass-fired gasification stove.

Project benefits;

1. Cleaner burning of biomass (much less soot, black carbon, and indoor/outdoor air pollution)
2. More efficient due to complete combustion (less total biomass consumption)
3. Uses a wide variety of small-sized biomass residues (no need for stick-wood or charcoal)
4. Biomass fuels are often within the immediate area of the users (affordable access at own convenience), easy to transport and store after gathering.
