Synthetic gasoline? Syndiesel from coal? Oil-based fuels from algae, grasses or waste grease? Single alcohols like ethanol? What about higher mixed alcohol fuels?
What should we do about the millions upon millions of beetle-killed trees in the West, especially in Montana? While people debate the merits and feasibility of taking action, one major aspect of the discussion has yet to really be discussed: biofuels.
From the Missoulian article:
“Even if we had the infrastructure and logging community we used to have, we couldn’t get this all off the ground,” Siedlitz said. “Thinning is just negative logging. It doesn’t pay for itself. If we could do something with the biomass so it was profitable to take it off, that might be something.”
We agree, “that” might be something! And “that” might even pay for itself and then some!
We are pleased that Bioroot Energy is ranking well in search returns among the major search engines. For example, a search for “bio trash to energy” on Bing ranked this site as #1. We’ve only been live for a couple of months, so that’s good news. It’s one of many signs we’re seeing that people all over the world are taking waste to energy subjects seriously enough to spend sometimes hours reading what’s here, at least from the traffic signals we’re getting.
Converting waste to energy is a no-brainer, it’s innovate, exciting, and most importantly, it’s the right thing to do. What’s not to like about converting your crap to energy except the price of entering the market?
But we’ve also noticed that most people who visit only read about what we’re doing and don’t comment, don’t sign up or become directly involved. Being widely ignored is not unanticipated. We live in an age where freely consuming found information on the Internet is just as common as consuming water.
We realize you are busy. But unlike consuming all the water you can handle, consuming information about trash to energy and not digesting it and getting any value from the exercise can lead to information overload, analysis paralysis, gee-whizitis, whodathunkitis, and all kinds of bad stuff.
Like the inability to separate the wheat from the chaff. Like the ability to step over a diamond and settle for another turd. Is this what you really want from the information you read?
When will you have had enough information and be ready to act on any of the information you’ve consumed? What do you need to read here or be offered to get you involved? Are you a trash maker? Why sure. Okay, tell us how you feel about your trash and what is currently done with it: landfilling. Are you an engineer with expertise in any of the fields we’re involved with in establishing gasfiication facilities? Please become a voice here and give weight and credibility to our story. Are you a biomass stakeholder with no good place to put it? Tell us what you want to do with it.
Bioroot Energy is unlike any other energy company on the planet. Our energy and our strength come from you and millions of other people.
Americans make lots of trash which can be harvested and converted to a sustainable stream of green biofuels. We just need to put our heads together and get it done, over and over again.
