The gas can be cleaned and compressed from what I understand. There is not a lot of information on this branch of the wood gas community though.
Another neat idea is waste gas from a partially closed compost pile. I was involved in a project that turned a landfill into a gas generation site (and a solar farm). The gas was piped to a Coca-Cola facility where they burned it for electricity and hot water. The site was guaranteed to produce enough gas to feed 2 3MW generators for 20 years!.

Neat idea on the waste gas. Do you have anymore info on it?
