USDA Regional Biofuels Roadmap

Congress has mandated that we achieve 36 billion gallons of biofuels by 2022. The USDA report outlines where we are in the process. The results might surprise you. Here is a quick video overview.

We will be covering this topic in much greater depth at the Summit.

Coupla young fella's out on the town

Tom Reed joined victory a while back and let me know he was going to be in the neighborhood, so we just got together the other night and got to talk about a range of subjects. We caught a little of our chat on video at the end and I just wanted to share it with you.

EPA & Manomet Study- Setting the record straight on the carbon neutrality of biomass

Biomass has been having a lackluster summer with new EPA rules and bogus report outcomes. I checked into this and found out that no one actually reads these reports or they would have found what I did. Watch the video to see what the industry is clueless about and how if left unchecked these $&(expletive)##'s are going to send more GHG's into the atmosphere in the name of clean air!

Thx Chad

We are timber producers in south of Chile and we are involved in fire wood products too. I see some of your great videos and I´m very interesting in starting up working with wood gasification technology . We would like to test a model with wood chunks for heating my home wih a wood gasification furnace. How can you help me Ben? wich is the way to go to achieve this goal?

At 9:25pm on October 8, 2009, mike hartsgrove said…: hey ben ,i watched more of your vids .....loved the hempfest one ...funny and cool .......saw where you were building it 6 moago ?? and oven method for measuring moisture content...chip dryer/gas cooler cool....!!!..cant wait to make good gas to run small engine...bought blower today....and read fab shop blog ...on fabing cones..hope to make a cyclone this weekend and incorporate them ..inoticed .on the woody and dump truck you use compressed air......are you just forcing it into the air intake into the tuyeres?

Bridging was addressed with an inverted conical hopper for wood chunks and the horizontal agitator is used for chips.

Glad to see the Off Gridder in operation. I'm checking out my circumstances to see if it makes sense for me get one right now. I know the bridging issue is a problem with gasification. Have you considered using sand, stones, clay or any non-flammable material mixed with the wood to keep the fuels separated and perhaps prevent the bridge from forming? Even with the bridging, this an awesome technology.

Hey I think you know I've been doing Ethanol for quite a while, from your last post it sounds like your thinking of doing it also. I have found Jerusalem Artichokes are one of the best crops you can grow, one of the highest Ethanol productions and the feedstock for your animals, the stalks I have been using in my gasifier. Let me know if you want to know more. talk later, Thx Chad
