The CBEND project in Namibia, Generating power from the Invader Bush.

Invader Bush, is a tall thorny bush that has large spikes that often harm the local wildlife trying to walk through the savannah. CBEND has already been successful at chopping the bush and processing it into a form that the people there can use as fuel in their stoves and ovens. This provides some money to pay for the plant operations and help the cheetah. By adding the gasifier, CBEND also generates electricity, and increases it's capacity to dispose of the chopped up invader bush (which is primarily a woody shrub).

CBEND posted some photos the gasifier and of the processing equipment

And several reports and publications about the project

Uniconfort Boiler: Biomass Gasification Boiler Technology Evolves

Uniconfort Boiler

From Doug Cure of Alternative Energy Solutions International, October, 2011

As the United States biomass thermal and power industry continues to expand, new reliable technologies offering higher efficiency solutions must be introduced. The newly introduced EOS series biomass gasification boiler is among the most energy efficient of AESI’s high-performance, low-maintenance biomass energy plants. The EOS series provides thermal outputs ranging from 600,000 BTU/hr to 20 million BTU/hr, and can be staged to provide increased capacity.
