Biomass gasification is basically a conversion of solid biomass into a combustible gas mixture normally called “Producer Gas” (or low Btu gas). The process involves partial com bustion of biomass. Partial combustion produces carbon
monoxide (CO) as well as hydrogen (H2) which are both combustible gas. Solid biomass fuels, which are usually inconvenien t and have low efficiency of utilization can thus, be converted in to a high quality gaseous fuel.
However, electrical power cannot be distributed to many rural areas in Myanmar. In rural areas, various forms of energy are used. These areas do not have access to electricity; people use wood, charcoal, bamboo, and rice hull for cooking
and candles, kerosene lamps for lighting at night. They also use engines and generators to produce electricity for light ing. Therefore, a rice husk gasifier was constructing operated and studied in 2007
