There is no clear leader in the race to fill the Renewable Fuels gap beyond corn ethanol. But there will be.
Where will a great many American jobs and businesses be created in the next ten years? In the sector that brings new value to the table: green liquid energy. Alternative energy companies such as Bioroot Energy will hire business development experts and engineers, contractors and construction workers to build commercial-scale facilities, and plant managers and wage workers, accountants, etc.
Higher mixed alcohol fuel production facilities stimulate job and business creation in the securing, gathering, transport and processing of feedstocks, as well as distribution and sales of fuel and further expansion of the business through new projects.
America’s biomass and trash streams can be processed into liquid energy products that have substantial market value, especially when this value is created and facility ownership retained at a local and regional level. For example, a city of 100,000 residents probably generates adequate municipal waste and woody biomass to make a liquid fuels project both feasible and economically desirable, at least from a technical and environmental perspective. The rest of the success equation is up to the stakeholders of the individual project.
Will higher mixed alcohols succeed in the transportation fuels marketplace? We believe public acceptance of E4 ENVIROLENE mixed alcohol fuel will soar as people discover its many benefits and broad market application. Beyond the fuel itself, even the minimal byproducts of gasification (slag, vitrified glass, etc.) have value in the abrasives, construction and road building industry. There’s also a significant waste heat footprint that has value for making electricity, steam, or heating a 10-acre permaculture facility that grows organic vegetables year ’round.
Nothing to drill or mine for, nor any crops to grow.
Instead, we’ll use all types of carbon wastes to create our fuel. Today’s household trash contains a rich assortment of petroleum-derived material to go along with the woody biomass that enters the waste stream where you live. Tires, old shoes, milk jugs, etc. Most of this material isn’t recycled. And to make matters worse, some of what we throw away finds its way into the oceans where trash is concentrated by ocean currents into garbage patches that are twice the size of Texas!
Yet, in the face of these vexing environmental problems, there’s a green liquid energy opportunity so big that we need to educate ourselves to fully understand it and support it locally.
With your help, we can improve the waste management status quo, which currently is either landfilling or incinerating municipal wastes and biomass, depending on where you live. We seek a new waste handling paradigm: using proven gasification to mixed alcohol fuels technology to build sustainable clean energy businesses where you live.
America’s waste management practices are due for an update. No longer is it in America’s best interests to ignore the solid waste it creates by hauling it and burying or burning it. The compelling benefits of using wastes and woody biomass, as well as coal, methane and even C02, to produce clean, green, sustainable liquid fuels are clear.
