BioGas (Digester) and BioChar (Gasifier) Basics

| Research Project: Thermal Power (bioMethane) Solar cooking biomass from Urban, Forest, Farms, collected and processed by farms, enterprise, NGOs. Solar biochar, bio-digestion are done both ON site and in distributed locations. |

| Smokeless Electricity produced 24/7 Food chains want DRY ICE (bioCO2 of smoke) to truck around "frigories", deep freeze warehouses without electricity. (HVAC = High% USA electricity) Other Interested Consumers: - Maritime Shipping and Cruiselines are candidates. - Greenhouses freeze produce, feed plants bioCO2. |
|
| Opportunistic Landscapes of Energy (WWT) Wind, Wave, Tidal are stored as air pressure, gravity, flywheels, Dry Ice (CO2), geothermal, ... ... to run Heat-Pumps, recover extra energy, pack away CO2 as Dry Ice, resulting in near zero emissions in urban areas. |
|
| Integrated Energy Storage to extract, further refine a variety by-product gases (CO2, CH4, H2, N2, O2, ) Useable in later processes, or marketable as is. Processes: Solar pyrolysis, enhanced combustion, hydraulics, pneumatics, heat pump, refinery, compression, selective condensation (fractioning), |

| Canada can have a "Second" Economy , especially in remote areas
that pick up its massive natural "CARBON" footprint from
bacterial respiration. The molecular structure of any CO2 is identical
and just as effective as tailpipe emissions. Full time and part time work (revenue) from biomass collection and various processing can both generate GDP and not add CO2 to the air! Moreover, Biochar (separating green methane and char) produces GDP, does not add CO2 to Air, and is a Net sequester of carbon for eons (as Soil). Canada, daily extracts 1 stadium of Tar, refined into exports, causing a high $Can (for decades) which depress Forestry and Manufacturing (salaries look expensive). As 2 stadia of biomass are processed across the country each day (remote jobs) producing green fuels, the net sequestration of biochar Carbon Offsets the Fossil Fuels and leaves resilient local economies that can prosper regardless of the currency. |
Biotechnology: Sleeping Green Giants: Canada and Russia
Their "natural" Carbon Footprint is proportional to the vegetation growing on their soil, rotting away to produce CO2 and CH4 gases.
Biochar can improve their soil's resistance to Climate Change. Targeting their remotest areas, where local employment is lowest and fuel costs are highest due to supply line distance.
Bonus production of bio-Methane (CNG) gas helps these communities' economy, and sequesters carbon at the same time - Possibly equal amounts to their Fossil Carbon extraction economy - Overall Net Zero Carbon, or better ...
As this economy matures and extends, biotechnology can compete and prosper within their currencies. Knowledge Economies add themselves as better methods are understood and value added exports become reality.
Soil Erosion: Digesting Soil for Fuels
Vancouver, Fall 2011
Conversation with Agriculture Master's Graduate from Germany

"How farmers in Germany grow crops quickly digested,
the methane gas runs electric power generation
that is sold to the Grid".
The "slurry" left over from fermentation is returned to the Soil, but rain and subsequent runoff leach the minerals away. Soil's historic structure degrades, crops fail, costs of fertilizer increase ... ... and the profits drop. |
