I would actually like to have a Kombi and eventually resto-mod it, but I still didn't get one.

The other thing you could do is maximize the size of the air tanks and use the compressed air to locomotion, in shops and warehouses.
Using compressed air for locomotion could actually be quite interesting, but I'm not so sure if that would be worth the effort to compress the air for that. I'd rather just use it to power tools.

But anyway, an electric-driven pusher trailer with a built-in wood gas-powered genset seems to be the easiest way to circumvent regulations against the fitment of a wood gas generator into newer vehicles in countries like Finland and Brazil.
