It’s more just a modified septic tank the n an appliance, the only moving part is the gasometer. It’s in wide use in underdeveloped countries however many universities have them as well.
They’ve ran quite a few pilots. I’d say that the use of both systems together would be useful. The wood gasifier I think is less modular, though the use of pellets can improve it. What I like about natural gas is it’s so light weight. Gas can be moved and stored at very low pressure (8 lbs) and isn’t flammable without oxygen.
The wood gasifier is great as well of course, but there is a lot of engineering that would need to go into heat loss for efficiency.
Additionally, the cost of a biodigester - a cheap one can be made out of dirt and garbage bags - is negligible.
There really is so much good it can do and so effortlessly...
