Refill Energy Gasifier - turns biomass into synthetic gas.

ReFill Energy has acquired International Green N-ergy (IGN), a Utah based company involved in biomass conversion technologies. Along with the acquisition of IGN, ReFill Energy has also gotten its hands on the IGN's proprietary Downdraft Gasification Module, which the company fabricated for the purpose of achieving significant technological advantages. The patented technology allows for large volume production of biofuel, deriving from gasification of such biomass sources as sewer waste water, agricultural waste, coal and carcasses. The output is a combination of electricity, steam, ethanol, fuels, chemicals and hydrogen. According to the company, one ton of feedstock is equivalent to about 1 MWh of electricity, or about 100 gallons of usable fuels.

The produced gas, using IGN's technology, is mainly made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The Syn-Gas can be used in IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) processes and efficiently converted into electricity, or converted to fuels such as ethanol, gasoline, jet fuel or Diesel.
