by vapourising stuff at 850C then hitting it with a plasma arc.
Obviously, this will create a green fuel because, as is well known, vapourisers operating at 830 degrees above ambient and plasma arcs definitely run only on the tears of shrews and will in no way require ten times as much fossil fuel energy as could ever be made as "refuse gas"
fucking hell, it's nearly as retarded as touting hydrogen as an eco fuel.

from what I can tell it just breaks down the carbon chains to shorter molecules that burn easier and with less crap. Divert enough of the energy back to get it self sustaining and you'll get some gas/electricity that can go somewhere else.

from an energy point of view. the only way to do it and "make" energy is biologically.
"Divert enough of the energy back to get it self sustaining" - you're talking the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. Only one that actually makes motion out of nothing.

but it's not perpetual motion because there's a whole shitload of feeder fuel coming in.

it's energy negative. always has been and always will be.
