Just another day in America

On May 10, 2013, humanity hurled itself across the threshhold of 400 parts per million atmospheric CO2. Media coverage was brief and to the point. We don’t have much time to effect big reductions in emissions. Of course, “we the people” are a caring bunch, but do we dare step up and do what is right by all beings?

Mankind needs a “hydrocarbon-to-oxycarbon” energy shift, and higher mixed alcohol fuel production and use is the best [...]

Cities, universities divesting from fossil energy

Jay — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:00:17 +0000

As American cities and universities begin to divest from fossil energy, a clear opportunity for medium to large cities to develop municipal-scale higher mixed alcohol fuel projects is emerging. The substantial economic value of locally produced clean fuel from no-value garbage, trash, sludges, and biomass, as well as jobs and new related businesses is compelling.

“Nearly a dozen U.S. cities have announced their interest in withdrawing municipal investments from fossil fuel companies, joining [...]

Fixing What’s Broken

We humans, in the span of just 50 years and the invention of plastic, have managed to create the 100 million ton Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the size of Texas, floating 1,000 miles west of San Francisco. It kills millions of marine and avian life every year. And it’s growing, and most of this waste originates from land.

How sad. Even though this video was shot on Midway Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you [...]

Dilution is the Solution

How bad is the air pollution in Beijing? Today, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center said the density of PM2.5 particulates surpassed 700 micrograms per cubic meter in parts of the city. The World Health Organization considers a safe daily level to be 25 micrograms per cubic meter.

Slash Emissions: How?

Jay — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 03:13:21 +0000

How to slash fossil energy emissions:

Educate people about the importance of funding and building a world-scalable “carbon-bridging” pollution solution. Begin converting coal-fired power plant CO2 and methane to higher mixed alcohol fuel. Fastest, most profitable method to achieve biggest possible reductions by converting these 2 greenhouse gasses to clean, biodegradable, water-soluble fuel that blends with or completely displaces petroleum oil-based fuels. Begin converting municipal solid and liquid wastes to higher mixed alcohol fuel. Begin converting waste biomass to higher [...]

Trashed: The Documentary

Bioroot Energy is focused on addressing this problem. Clean gasification of society’s solid and liquid wastes is a closed-loop, clean process which reduces the various “carbons” in the waste stream to carbon monoxide and hydrogen, or “syngas” which is then converted to higher mixed alcohol fuel.

Converting greenhouse gas to clean fuel

What clean, biodegradable fuel can be profitably produced from methane (CH4), a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than CO2? Higher mixed alcohol fuel can be produced from methane and CO2.

Questions? Here’s an airtight answer.

Is today’s biofuel industry on life support? Will “fermenting” corn, grasses and plants to make ethanol get us “there” from here? What about algae? Can pond scum deliver a home run for humanity? What about french-fry grease? Think biodiesel is going to float the world’s boat or truck dollars to your bank account?

Is drilling for oil just digging the fossil-energy hole deeper? Will any of today’s fuels address problems with our environment or our economy? Or make [...]

It’s only waste if it’s wasted.

“Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.” - Guy Kawasaki

For Bioroot Energy, “no shit” is more than a snarky comment. It’s our business mission. We’re fighting fossil energy zombies, we’re fighting a 300,000 acre fire literally on our office doorstep, and we’re fighting for respect and support from the world’s investment community.

The world is awash in waste carbons. They’re wreaking havoc. We have the clean fuel fix. A carbon-bridging pollution solution that turns the world’s “cradle [...]
