A wood gas generator is a gasification unit which converts timber or charcoal into wood gas, a producer gas consisting of atmospheric nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, traces of methane, and other gases, which – after cooling and filtering – can then be used to power an internal combustion engine or for other purposes. Historically, wood gas generators were often mounted on vehicles, but present studies and developments concentrate mostly on stationary plants.

Biogas is of biological origin. It can be made equivalent to natural gas by purification and upgrading, but it is still called biogas in the sense of OSM.
