Biomass and Pyrolytic Conversion
America's prosperous lifestyle creates waste. Much of it goes to landfills that are reaching their capacity and may pose environmental hazards. Alternatives such as traditional incinerators can create air pollution and ash that requires hazardous waste disposal.
Essentially, the problem is that there is not enough energy, but there is too much trash. Biomass technologies convert trash to energy, providing a very attractive solution for our society.
Avoided Costs
An equally important advantage is the Avoided Costs of biomass technologies. For example:
- 100 tons of trash can be reduced to 9-14 tons of ash, depending on the waste stream
- The reduction in tonnage means that less material needs to be shipped
- Shipping costs are reduced
- Shipping-generated pollution is reduced
- Road and other infrastructure requirements are reduced, lightening the load on governing bodies
- Land-fill deposits are reduced
- The ash depositted in land fill is inert, reducing hazards to future generations
Pyrolyzation (or Pyrolysis) is an advanced Biomass technology with many advantages:
- Conversion takes place in an oxygen-free environment
- Virtually no toxins are created or released
- Clean electrical power is generated
- Charcol byproduct can be valuable
- Entire process exceeds government pollution standards
