We will begin the installation of the gasifier on 25 July 2005. The model is similar to the one installed in Cambodia (from Ankur, India; Photo G1) but smaller: 4 KW.  Initially small pieces of wood and bamboo (Photo 2) will be the feed stock but later the aim is to use the fibrous residue after squeezing the juice from sugar cane (Photos G3 and G4).
