TREES TO POWER THE WORLD
Cultivated biomass refinement is the response to earlier failed efforts decades ago in energy production to use biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels.
Can we grow enough trees to support our grid and save our fossil reserves? Yes. The earth currently has only about 50% of the trees it had 200 years ago. Replanting some portion of them into carefully managed arbors makes sense on several levels: 1). Economic. 2). Fuel conservation. 3). Stabilizing ecosystems.
Wouldn’t burning so much wood-sourced fuel cause pollution? No. Ultra-refined wood fuel and efficient new power mechanics from Carbon Analytic are virtually greenhouse gas free. Because the process of growing trees and other biomass sources stores excess water and CO2 into the soil, the process is NET GREENHOUSE NEGATIVE!
Is there such a thing as too much water? Let’s look at some grade school chemistry: Burning almost anything creates water vapor. This is why we see water dripping from car exhaust before they warm up. Burning petroleum pushes water vapor (and carbon) from ancient times into today's climate. Lots of it. Most of us know about the CO2 problem, but H2O is both a much higher volume greenhouse gas and has greater harmful potential. Unfortunately, it has been accumulating fast for decades without comprehensive management strategies in place.
Could well managed biomass tree arbors help control greenhouse gases? Certainly. Desertification is an unfortunate modern trend where wet areas become wetter (attracting rain) and dry ones become drier (repelling rain). At the same time oceans are rising. These phenomena are principally due to large scale logging and harmful farming methods. That and an infusion of water vapor from combustion of ancient fuels. Repopulating trees shades land surfaces from the greenhouse warming effects of infra-red solar radiation. They gather excess water and carbon from the air back into the soils as humus or ‘black soil’. Even grasses as short as 5 inches tall, anchor carbon rich humus and water into top soil to anchor from the effects of rainfall turning the soils into silt in runoff.
If we plant so many trees, where would we grow food? Alongside the trees! Our tree arbor model (called Silvopasture) allows us to raise annual hay and livestock among the trees through most of a 5-10 year harvest cycle. Trees, pasture and grazing cooperate to increase fertility, food yields and build high quality soil.
Ultra-refined biomass fuels and new power technologies from Carbon Analytic safely support the conservation of petroleum, coal, wind and solar energies using the worlds original fuel: BIOMASS!
