Fossil fuels supply 85% of world energy. Their use releases more atmospheric carbon and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) than natural processes can absorb. This increase threatens global sustainability.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), biomass, which includes; municipal solid waste (MSW), sewage solids (biosolids) , manure, crop/forest residues, tree/plant trimmings and fuel crops, provides 11% of the world’s primary energy but has the potential to supply 50%. If not recovered, biomass wastes and biosolids also pollute the air and water as they decay.
Proper disposal is costly. The Kyoto Protocol, Clean Water Act, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 503, and related regulations now control discharges of pollutants into the air, water and on land. Recovering their energy can slash GHG emissions and reduce fossil fuel dependency.
Biomass and Dry Bio-Solids have half the energy of fossil fuels and occur dispersed, so to avoid high transportation costs, bio-energy systems tend to be small.
Carbon Sequestration (CSL) is a project developer, using state of the art technology for real world solutions to the recovery of energy from biomass.
