Editing Gasification (section)

===Transport fuel===
[[Diesel engine]]s can be operated on dual fuel mode using producer gas. Diesel substitution of over 80% at high loads and 70–80% under normal load variations can easily be achieved.<ref>[https://archive.today/20110713142231/http://www.kedco.com/ind/industrial/principles-of-gasification/ Gasification Appliances Review], 04.02.08</ref> [[Spark ignition engine]]s and [[solid oxide fuel cell]]s can operate on 100% gasification gas.<ref>[http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/view/eth:41553 Electricity from wood through the combination of gasification and solid oxide fuel cells], Ph.D. Thesis by Florian Nagel, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, 2008</ref><ref>[https://www.qualityscales.co.il/biomass-producer-gas/ Characterization of biomass producer gas as fuel for stationary gas engines in combined heat and power production], Ph.D. Thesis by Jesper Ahrenfeldt, Technical University of Denmark March 2007</ref><ref>[http://www.biocellus.com/pdf/High_temperature_electrolyte.pdf High temperature electrolyte supported Ni-GDC/YSZ/LSM SOFC operation on two-stage Viking gasifier product gas] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217093848/http://www.biocellus.com/pdf/High_temperature_electrolyte.pdf |date=2008-12-17 }}, Ph.

While small scale gasifiers have existed for well over 100 years, there have been few sources to obtain a ready-to-use machine. Small scale devices are typically [[DIY]] projects. However, currently in the United States, several companies offer gasifiers to operate small engines.
