ALL Power Labs hosts an ongoing series of workshops to allow GEK enthusiasts to gain hands on experience with the latest developments in gasification.  These are hosted each quarter at ALL Power Labs in Berkeley, CA as well as with our partners around the world.  Whether you’re a power tinkerer, university researcher, development program coordinator, or industrial engineer, our workshops are designed to get you over the starting hurdles of biomass thermal conversion and on to the more rewarding work of making clean gas for power generation, or making biochar for soil amendment.

Host a GEK Workshop
We’re getting increasing requests to hold the APL gasification workshop weekends elsewhere in the world. This sounds like a great idea, so we’re agreeing to most requests. There needs to be some GEK machinery on your end to make it meaningful, as well as some people who want to explore the issues for localizing the technology. If you have these particulars, or want to consider assembling these particulars, write us and we can explore the options.
