IIRC i recently got a link off here with a high pressure wet system
used to generate either oil or natural gas, and mineral byproducts
from "just about anything". It really sounded too good to be
true... but it's something to consider if you have biomass to spare.
A portion of the fuel was used to run the thing (like 30% IIRC), with
the excess being available for whatever.

could also help with any landfill issues you might have... ;)
