Fuel For Thought +

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

- Henry David Thoreau

Somebody needed to do something, and it was incredibly pathetic that it had to be us.

- Jerry Garcia

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

- Walt Kelly

The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

- Albert Einstein

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

- Confucius

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

- Ghandi

After hydrogen, the most common thing in the universe is stupidity.

- Albert Einstein

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

-Richard Feynman

Montana

Montana is rich in renewable biomass (woody waste such as small diameter trees, barks, needles, branches and cones) on private lands and state and national forests, which has historically been piled and burned in place.  Or burned in wildfires.  Bioroot Energy seeks to monetize the state’s  abundance of biomass harvested from sorely needed thinning and fuel reduction projects to create significant energy, economic and environmental value.

In addition, Montana’s population of nearly 1 million people generates a significant amount of municipal solid waste each day, and only about 15 percent of this waste is recycled.  What isn’t recycled gets landfilled.  Nearly all of this carbon-based waste can be converted to water soluble, biodegradable mixed alcohol fuel, which can then enter our in-state fuel supply as a strong competitor to corn ethanol.

Montana is also a coal-rich state. Gas-to-liquid fuel synthesis of ENVIROLENE® holds great promise to unlock the thus far elusive promise of “clean coal” and greatly reduce coal-fired emissions in a process which can even capture and recycle CO2 smokestack emissions into more ENVIROLENE.

In addition, Montana has substantial proven gas reserves (methane) which can be profitably converted to higher mixed alcohol fuel.

Montana has significant renewable biomass, solid and liquid wastes, and fossil-based resources such as coal and methane, and the opportunity to pioneer clean, profitable and sustainable waste to energy development:

  • Billions of tons of woody waste biomass
  • Millions of tons of solid and liquid municipal wastes
  • Billions of tons of coal, coal fines, petroleum coke and refinery bottoms
  • Billions of cubic feet of stranded methane
  • Nearly 1 million people to get the job done, right.
