XYLOWATT technology addresses two key markets with <strong>the</strong> NOTAR gasifier:<br />

(i) Biomass CHP market: is growing in industrialized & emerging regions.<br />

While this market was originally addressed only by combustion technologies,<br />

<strong>the</strong> recent development of gasification technologies allows better efficiencies<br />

in small scale projects.<br />

(ii) <strong>Renewable</strong> syngas <strong>for</strong> industry: <strong>Energy</strong>-intensive industries (metals, glass,<br />

bricks & tiles, etc.) with strong needs to diversify fuel resources and reduce<br />

energy costs & carbon emissions<br />
