Ways To Participate: The Biomass Solution

Justification:

In general, people show a knack for seeing plain truths as common sense.  Below are some examples of common sense values supported by Biomass Fuels:

“If fossil fuels go away, there’s nothing in place to fill that gap”.  Currently there are no clean, steady or on-demand alternatives.  Wind, solar and hydro have a glass ceiling of about 30% while increasing new cost and risking new waste streams we already know will occur.

“As useful as fossil fuels have been (especially Natural Gas and Petroleum) they will eventually run out”.  The easy reserves have been tapped.  Extraction is becoming more difficult, costly and risky.  As a result, prices will continue to rise.

“Burning fossil fuels has toxic consequences that need to be considered”.  People know there are downsides to fossil fuel emissions which affect their lives.  Whether they see this through common sense or scientific effort, people understand we need sustainable solutions.

“Solar, wind, hydro and nuclear are not practical at a scale to replace fossil fuels”.   In reality, only biomass fueled technologies offer flexible and reliable solutions that are sustainable to these and other dilemmas.  Refined Biomass fuels and systems deliver steady, on-demand power when and where we need it!   Raising biomass is profitable, heals the environment and can be sustained indefinitely.  Many peer reviews in respected scientific journals confirm we can cultivate more biomass than we need.

Below is a diagram of how Non-profit groups are formed around a Non-profit Co-op central collection. 

The groups identified can access state and federal grant provisions, low cost lending, loan guarantees all as provisions available to stimulate ecological restoration.

By focusing across the regional co-op, each participating group IS the sole ownership in each coalition farm project as well as shared ownership in the co-op.

In the instance of special under-served groups, the co-op helps organize profit sharing structures if and when some may fall outside of specific ownership criteria, insuring that all participants benefit.  The land owner shares in gains as well as the ecological improvements of the land / water resources over time in a continued production / sale of biomass tonnage and improved food and / or livestock production. 

CA NPO guides the formation of regional co-op collectives to administer creating the other satellite associations. 

1. The process involves identifying land owners and specific farm labor groups first to form individual non-profit organizations, (NPO). 

2. A design for land, water and cultivation improvement focused on selective crop designs to produce biomass and food, silage or livestock production is developed with each NPO.

3. Local asset, equipment and logistics are identified among local farms and business, teamed in as contractual providers.

4. An organizational plan is developed with operating agreement and necessary filings to establish the NPO organization(s) and to gather the various funding / grant initiatives to facilitate the various organizations.

5. As operations begin, the Regional Co-op facilitates the exchange, delivery and storage / distribution of goods to destinations.

These formations are designed around key points of benefit recognized for state and federal grant and other funding provisions, focused first on small, local farming designs and the support of under-privileged participants, including land owners, small farms, start up farms, under-served minorities, equipment and process vendors and other key points of provision.

The designs have a higher degree of social integrity in that the organizations are not bound to a for-profit ownership or capital investment process which insures those directly involved share the greater percentage of gains rather than accumulating financial growth to separate investor structures.  In many instances federal supports can even provide crop yield insurance, helping protect from seasonal short falls.

At the same time, external funding resources desiring to invest in propagating the co-op are able to offer crowd funding input, tax deductible donations or outside for-profit lending to the co-op(s) for gains or even higher volume sophisticated investment opportunity as longer-term gain.  By funding groups partnered in state or federal backed lending, the outside investment benefits both shared and reduced risk.

The end result stimulates conversion of energy production away from fossil fuel toward clean, emissions negative biomass fuel-to-energy production.  Carbon Analytic becomes the de facto customer of the processed biomass as the fuel source for all the energy production systems CA offers insuring market stability.  At the same time those locally involved in the NPO(s) gain favorable Farmer's Market positions to sell or purchase higher quality food at reduced prices, which further extends to the local community as a whole, improving economic stability, long-term growth and especially increased nutritional benefit with shorter, local supply chain stability.

The ecological benefits of sustainable farming methods insure greater fresh water supply by restoration of local aquifer and water table resources and the removal of prior farming residues of pesticides and fertilizer overload.  In addition, past water and carbon gases that have been liberated to the atmosphere are appropriately restored to plant tissues and soil humus.

All of these methods continue to be formative during the pro-tem stage of Carbon Analytic hosting the development of CA NPO as a leaders to stimulate organizations of these groups.  During this time we hope to answer any questions directed to the Forums here on the site or use the Contact link to inquire directly by mail form.  We respond personally to all inquiries.
