The world is facing a great problem of energy crises, because of overuse of conventional fuels in automobiles, power generation and various thermal applications. Imposition of emissions norms by government regulating bodies to reduce environment pollution lead to the search for cleaner burning fuel. Wood gas is expected to play an important role in meeting the existing gap between the energy supply and energy demand, particularly in rural areas, in the present context of energy crises. The technology of Biomass gasification has existed from more than seventy years.The gasifier is a unit which produces inflammable gases by the pyrolysis of wood and similar biomasses. The present project is an attempt to design a gasifier and its accessories and fabricate it to run an AC generator by fueling a spark ignition engine. The gasifier is developed consisting of cyclone filter, particle filter and a cooling system. The wood gas is a result of decomposition of biomass at elevated temperatures to produce a range of inflammable gases, the presence of tar and water vapour in the gas causes deterioration of fuel quality and decrease in output. This is regulated by using a counter flow cooling system and a set of cyclone and particulate filters.
