Downdraft gasification is an alternative energy technology that converts biomass materials such as wood into energy. Biomass is mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When these elements meet in a controlled high temperature state, they combine together to become hydrogen gas, methane, and carbon monoxide. All of these gasses are combustible!

Gasification is a proven technology that helped millions of people survive during the Second World War. Gasification allowed farmers to grow crops, food to be transported, and electricity to be generated. During the fuel shortages of World War II, more than one million vehicles were powered by wood.
