This is very similar, if not the same, technology as Husk Power Systems. HPS had a lot of press around 5 years ago for going to villages in India which grew corn and burning their husk for power using tech from WWII. They were so successful that corn husk became a commodity in the villages they entered. A part of their model was also to train locals to become engineers and manage the machines themselves. Pretty incredible value add at many different levels.
