In order to be practical petroleum based fuels have to be expensive/unavailable, the efficiency of scale large and a one man show running the digester to limit costs. Government grants/my tax money are incentives too.
There are lots of biogas generators out there behind rural buildings. They are supposed to be outdoor stoves but the owner/operator is operating them as biogas digester's.
They fill the wood box to the top and limit air intake so the fire smolders.All this organic material in a confined high temp vessel in the absence of enough oxygen to burn. Will mostly turn into combustible gasses which flow out the stack as stinking smoke. Some of the gasses will condense as creosote in the stack.
Any heat generated will be mostly from the combustion of "coke/charcoal" at the bottom of the stove near the air intake.
