This isn't the usual Boiler Room fare, but I thought it might be of interest to the folks on this forum. Here is the link to a story that was published in the Worcester Telegram http://telegram.com/article/20101224/NEWS/12240450/1020. It describes a commercial wood plant being proposed for Springfield,Ma. First off, please note that this is commentary by one individual. He makes efficiency claims (23% efficiency.... worse than existing coal plants) which I haven't cross-checked. So it's possible that this information may be incomplete and/or inaccurate. Is anyone familiar with these things - is gasification incorporated into any of these commerical plants? And no one around here is shy, so I expect that there will be other comments and opinions about the subject and article as well ;-)
