[...] les différents constituants du bois demandent des conditions de gazéification fort différentes; la gazéification totale est donc délicate. Pour bien maîtriser l'opération, pour la réguler facilement, il faut avoir une alimentation automatique et une matière très divisée (sciure - copeau - granulé - écorce de préférence). 2, record 2, French, - gaz%C3%A9ification%20des%20copeaux%20de%20bois

Pyrolysis is the physical and chemical decomposition of organic matter brought about by the action of heat in the absence of oxygen ... Most wood gasification systems commonly referred to as involving "pyrolysis" involve true pyrolysis as but one reaction in a multi-stage process with oxygen or air combustion being used to generate the necessary heat in another part of the reactor. 1, record 3, English, - wood%20gasification%20system

Prévision d'impact des carburants liquides végétaux en France. (...) Le méthanol (...) peut rapidement trouver un débouché notable en mélange avec l'essence. (...) On peut espérer construire 2 à 6 grandes usines produisant au total 300 000 à 900 000 tonnes de méthanol par gazéification du bois. (...) Le programme mis en place en France à la suite du Conseil des Ministères du 14 janvier 1981 doit favoriser l'introduction des carburants liquides à base de matières végétales dans le secteur des transports sans modifier le système de distribution. Plusieurs opérations de gazéification de bois suivies de synthèse de méthanol ont déjà été initiées. 1, record 4, French, - gaz%C3%A9ification%20de%20bois
