*Combined heat and power with local fuel*

17.3.2008 Minister Mauri Pekkarinen officially opened on 17th of March 2008 a new type of CHP Bio power plant at Lestijärvi, Finland. The plant has been built by Lestijärvi Wood chip Cooperative. The plant's technology is based on patented Entimos-technology.

*Emission free energy from own district * The fuel for the Lestijärvi power plant comes from local forests. Wood chips are gasified in an Entimos-gasifier and the produced gas is used in an engine/generator set which produces ca. 0,3 MW (net) of electricity and ca.
0,65 MW (net) of heat. The electricity is directed to the national grid and the heat is used in district heating and for fuel drying.

My partner Guenther Freudendahl and I are delighted about Paul Anderson's kind reference to Gus Johansson, our friend and mentor, who passed away at the age of nearly 84 on 09 March 2005.

Gus retired from his co-founder position of one of South Africa’s major civil engineering companies in 1984. To realize his dream of many decades and keep his gray matter active, he devoted all his time to invent a TAR FREE Gasifier, based on the 2nd world war Imbert down draft method. The result came swiftly: in the System Johansson, tar is cracked at ±1,500ºC --- a breakthrough of extraordinary proportions.
