%X wood biomass, carob coal (made from an autochthonous tree of the cauca river valley) and cane bagasse were gasificated. from the separate gasification of each of them, synthesis gas was obtained, which was refined and chemically characterized. it the efficiency of the process and of the equipment was determinate by an evaluation of the mass and energy balance. a calorific power up to 4 mj/nm3 was obtained showing its potential as fuel in internal combustion engines. it is concluded that the wood presents the best efficiency of 77% compared to 71% of bagasse and 70% of coal.
