 The gasifier is a chemical reactor, where biomas is partially combusted. The gasification process can be distinguished between dehydration (drying of the fuel), Pyrolysis (thermochemical decomposition of organic material), combustion (burning), gasification and reduction of the feedstock.
 *'''[[Gasification Feedstock|Gasification feedstock]]''' can be agricultural and forest product residues which can be used for energy conversion without increasing land requirements. The quality, type and amount of raw material fed into the gasifier (feedstock) determines the amount of electricity produced. Respectively different types of gasifieres are designed for different feedstock.
 *[[Biogas Substrate|Methanation Product]] have to be filtered, to deliver a respective generator gas. For the use in gas or diesel engines the gas has to fulfil certain requirements. Methane is the main combustible part of the gas, thus a high methane content is desirable. A high calorific value is necessary and low sulphur contents are inevitable.
-*'''[[Biogas Electricity Generation|Biogas Electricity Generation]]''' is achieved by a combustion engine, which uses the gas as a fuel. The mechanical energy from the combustion is then transformed to electricity. Theorectically, both external combustion engines and an internal combustion engines can be used to generate electricity. In most commercially-run biogas power plants today, the internal combustion motors have become the standard technology either as gas or diesel motors. They have quite high requirements regarding the fuel quality. In theory, most engines originally intended for cars, trucks, ships or stationary use can run on biogas as fuel and are available almost everywhere within a power range between 10 and 500 kW. Electric generators are virtually available in any country and in all sizes. The technology is well known and maintenance is easy.

Study of Deutsches Biomasse Forschungs Zentrum (DBFZ) on behalf of GTZ, Renewable Energy Project Development Programme East Africa. 69p. The comprehensive study documents a high potential for electricity production in Kenya from municipal solid waste and agro-industrial production, especially sisal and coffee production. About 16% of the actual electricity consumption could be covered by electricity from biogas. The costs of different plant types and sizes are calculated. Grid connection and appropriate feed-in-tariffs are identified as main prerequisites for commercial investment in this sector. The proposed basic feed-in-tariffs are in a similar price range as they are actually in Germany (0,10 – 0,2 US$ /kWh el.)
