Can wood gas woodgas be compressed or liquefied?

Question

I'm building a woodgas generator and was wanting to know if there was a feasable way of storing up a reserve amount of gas.

Answer 1

yes, but it may not be practical. Compression take a lot of power, liquefying takes even more.

Wood gas is carbon monoxide (CO), molecular hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). It may also have O2 and N2.

Because of the carbon monoxide it is highly toxic.

I found this:

" For anyone who is interested about wood gas storage, there is an intersting solution. I recenty e-mailed Tom Reed, the guru of woodgas, about any advance's made in wood gas storage. I am sure this is not "new technology" but he informed me that people, mostly farmers, are producing and storing woodgas in agbags. If you have ever driven through the countryside and saw those long white plastic bags in the field, they are normaly full of silage or feed for the farm animals. They are a cheap disposable alternative to silo's. Apparently some farmers are filling some of them with wood gas or other homebrew gas's. Sounds like a great idea if you have the acreage like a farmer has. I would imagine they must strap them down to the ground in some way or they might float away, Now that could be pretty scary seeing a 100 ft. long white agbag floating along at about 1500 ft above your house."
