Claim:
1. A process for the controlled thermal conversion of a carbonaceous feedstock, comprising: exposing the feedstock to one or more predetermined temperatures and one or more predetermined pressures for one or more predetermined amounts of time in one or more chambers to produce a gas product and a solid product, wherein the gas product comprises one or more of methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and one or more noxious chemicals and the solid product comprises Carbon; sequestering at least one of the one or more noxious chemicals in the one or more chambers using at least a portion of the Carbon; controlling the constituents of the gas product using feedback related to current constituents of the gas product, thereby providing a predictable and stable gas product from an unknown and/or variable feedstock; and providing favorable conditions for sequestration enabled Carbon and for optimum organic gas production by removing air from the feedstock using an air removal feeder comprising an auger connected to a spool piece having a plurality of air valves for compressing the feedstock and removing air, the air removal feeder further comprising a plurality of rotating spring loaded half-circle faces that uniformly impede the forward path of the feedstock, wherein the rotating spring loaded half-circle faces protrude through a plurality of slots formed through the spool piece disposed along a central axis of the air removal feeder.
