“Imagine a world where everything you use never really disappears, it is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes form. Imagine energy from trash. Energy from non-crop biomass. Real deal, no more catch phrases, renewable energy, made from any type of carbon—whether it be your worn-out tires, your worn-down tennis shoes, or even the ‘unmentionables’ that run down your plumbing pipes.
Bioroot Energy is addressing deep concerns over energy (how do we reduce dependence on foreign oil), the economy (jobs, products, businesses), and the environment (pollution and climate change), and along the way providing we the people with a remarkable opportunity to assert control over our own actions, lives, and our future. Personal responsibility in this regard is nothing short of invigorating.
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m comforted knowing that at least I’m not the only one. Way to go Bioroot!”
- David Boone, Singer Songwriter
“As a scientist and a writer, I endorse Bioroot Energy for its promise to convert all types of waste and non-crop biomass streams into useful, clean-energy biofuels, thereby contributing to the new sustainable social and technological paradigm that offers so much hope and promise.”
- Jon Turk, Scientist, Writer, Adventurer
If human beings are going to pass a healthy and hospitable planet to our children and grandchildren, we need to base our civilization on new technologies and at the same time, we need to nurture a spiritual and emotional connectivity with nature.
Forty years ago I worked as a research chemist for the Environmental Protection Agency. In 1970, in response to Earth Day 1, I wrote the first environmental science textbook in North America.
In early 2010, I am publishing a book called The Raven’s Gift: A Scientist, a Shaman, and Their Remarkable Journey Through the Siberian Wilderness, which explores ancient wisdoms and sustainability.
Bioroot Energy is proud to sponsor Mr. Turk’s 2010 speaking appearances in Montana.

As an employee of a very large industrial complex who regularly creates an impressive amount of waste. I have paid close attention to the ideas and discussions held throughout this and other sites. These are not just pipe dreams of an obnoxious tree hugger in cyberspace these are actual sustainable ideas for ours and our children’s future. What does your community do with your garbage? Your sewage?
Look close the solution may well be right before your eyes.
Can you believe it? Yes. These guys have found a key solution to meeting our world’s energy needs, and it is one that will change the way the world handles its waste. Talk about win win. It refreshes my hope for the world’s future to know that there are men and women who care enough to take the risks involved for the rest of us to have a chance to evolve. Go for it, and thank you.

The use of domestic waste and excess biomass from the forested areas in our Valley to make a clean burning fuel makes more sense than any proposal I have seen to date. No proponent has indicated they could actually pay a fair price for delivered woody biomass until SACA [Standard Alcohol Company of America] came along. I hope Mark and Jay are successful as this could be the answer to so many of our problems, economic and environmental as well. I offer my assistance in any way I can help. Thanks for all your perseverance.

There are few positive things happening in this country or in fact, the world, that are worth getting excited about. However, Bioroot Energy’s vision to make the Bitterroot valley a haven for dramatic advancements in the economy, recycling, waste management, as well as climate change and pollution reduction, have changed that trend.
Thank you for putting together a very informative meeting with Standard Alcohol Company’s Mark Radosevich and his wife Gerri. Their patented process of taking garbage such as tires, forest waste, household trash, sewage and other unwanted biomass of all types and making a marketable fuel is just short of a miracle.
Funding this new venture is critical so Montana cannot only recover from this economic downturn but also help reduce foreign oil dependency, reduce pollutants, and at the same time make money.
The website is very informative and encouraging. Please let me know how I can help.
