Annika EPA Proposed Boiler MACT Standards -Just Add A Few Million Dollars In This Major Recession That's All

Any sane person can see for themselves that we are in a major recession. The truth is I think its a major depression. Banks have money but they won't lend. People are losing their jobs and homes.

Annika Torrefaction of Biomass = Black Gold But How Do You Get Into The Game?

First for all of you who don’t know, torrefaction of biomass with densification creates a very energy dense fuel of 20-25 GJ per ton. Why should you care? Well this puppy with these two elements combined can help overcome logistic economics in large scale renewable energy solutions. Instead of junk being shipped out of a biomass waste site, you could be shipping out black gold. Sounds good but how is the process done?

Torrefaction of biomass is like a mild form of pyrolysis at temperatu… Continue
