Solid carbon-containing materials such as wood chips may be converted into liquid fuels using a gasification process. The potential of this technology has been long overlooked because energy production using traditional methods has been more cost-effective. However with the recent increases in the cost of energy and concerns about carbon emissions gasification is becoming more attractive as an alternative energy source.

GoBiGas (Gothenburg Biomass Gasification Project) is a first step towards large-scale biogas production.
