Dutch term or phrase: ondermaat zuurstof
Het ruwe halfproduct van groen gas ontstaat bij vergassing van biomassa (verhitting van de grondstof met ondermaat zuurstof).
I cannot find the proper translation for 'ondermaat'. Someone suggested phrasing it like 'less than stoichiometric' but I am not sure if this is correct.
