NOVELTY - Apparatus for processing material such as organically coated waste and organic materials including biomass, industrial waste, municipal solid waste and sludge, comprises a processing chamber (2) for processing the material at an elevated temperature to produce syngas; a combustion chamber (4); a conduit means (6); at last one mirror (24) arranged to reflect and concentrate sunlight; a storage conduit (62) for carrying syngas into syngas reservoir (66); and a syngas feed line (68) for feeding syngas from the reservoir to the combustion chamber.    USE - The apparatus is useful for processing material such as organically coated waste and organic materials including biomass, industrial waste, municipal solid waste and sludge(claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The invention provides an improved system for processing organic waste.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Apparatus for processing material such as organically coated waste and organic materials including biomass, industrial waste, municipal solid waste and sludge, comprises a processing chamber for processing the material at an elevated temperature to produce syngas; a combustion chamber having at least one burner for combusting syngas released by processing of the material; a conduit means between the combustion chamber and the processing chamber for carrying hot exhaust gases from the combustion chamber to the processing chamber; at last one mirror arranged to reflect and concentrate sunlight thus to cause the temperature within the processing chamber to be raised; a syngas reservoir; a storage conduit for carrying syngas into the syngas reservoir; and a syngas feed line for feeding syngas from the reservoir to the combustion chamber. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is a method of processing organic waste comprising placing the organic waste in a processing chamber; reflecting sunlight from a plurality of mirrored surfaces onto a heat absorbent surface so as to raise the temperature, in an oxygen deficient environment, within the processing chamber so as to cause the organic waste material to gasify and produce syngas; withdrawing the syngas from the processing chamber; diverting at least a portion of the withdrawn syngas into a storage reservoir; passing syngas into a combustion chamber where its temperature is raised, in the presence of oxygen, to sufficient temperature to oxidize the syngas; and re-circulating at least a portion of the combustion chamber exhaust gas back into the processing chamber; or a method of processing organic waste comprising during sunlight hours, following the method above; and during night time hours introducing fossil fuel into a burner in the combustion chamber in sufficient quantities to: (a) create sufficient hot exhaust gas to heat the processing chamber to the required temperature for the gasification of the organic waste; and (b) raise the temperature within the combustion chamber to a sufficient temperature to oxidize syngas produced in and received from the processing chamber; or a method of processing organic waste comprising: during sunlight hours, following the method according to claim 20; and during night time hours introducing syngas from the syngas reservoir into a burner within the combustion chamber in sufficient quantities to: (a) create sufficient hot exhaust gas to heat the processing chamber to the required temperature for the gasification of the organic waste; and (b) raise the temperature within the combustion chamber to a sufficient temperature to oxidize syngas produced in and received from the processing chamber.
