CHP and biomass in action

[GaunletofDestruction]

If all our trash in America was incinerated for power it would be able to produce as much as 8% of our country's total electrical needs! Incineration from a scientific viewpoint is actually much cleaner than current coal plants.

I agree we should use more Waste to Energy plants but Incineration is looked down on in the US for stupid reasons.

Wish we would do more of this in the U.S.

Well done Denmark. Does anyone know of a miniature CHP system suitable for domestic use? Where I live in TN, our temperatures typically range from 10F to 100F (and humid). We need air conditioning and heating. We have ~ 77 round bales of timothy & orchard grass per season (800-1,000 lb. each). I want to use some of it to generate electricity and heat/AC. Any ideas?

CHP is one of the few Renewables i support as it is practical and sensible furthermore i mainly support it for the fact that it needs to be distributed and therefore helps toward energy security. Another plus is that it is more robust both as it can burn various fuels.

It's called pyrolysis and it's carbon negative - forget co2 neutral it's time to be carbon negative ! Why not?! Store it in the soil to aid agriculture. Agrichar or biochar

Make it into bio-char while producing electricity - why waste char?
