1 gal of gasoline or diesel will make about 15HP of shaft power for one hour. if driving a genset, this will produce about 1oKWe. 1 gal of gasoline or diesel is equivalent to about 20lbs of biomass through a gasifier. 1 ton of biomass to power through a gasifier-engine system is equal to about 100gal of liquid fuel in a genset, or 1MW of electricity.
