Abstract
Methods of thermal reprocessing of wood and peat to obtain high-calorific gas mixtures are considered. The comparison of the existing technologies and those under development as to heating values of the gas mixtures obtained, quantitative yield of these mixtures, and effectiveness of transformation of the initial raw material into gas is given. Certain attention is paid for the analysis of a possibility to put into effect waste-less technologies.
