In 1977 I was working on coal gasification at a major R&D center.  Mostly what is made is carbon monoxide from incomplete burning.  Wood gasifiers took off during WWII. Quite easy to run a small engine on this this since mixture ratio is not critical.  Don't need much more than a garbage can and a bucket.  Lot of funky looking vehicles on the web if you google.
