Thinking Green - Environmental Tips, News, Commentary

While most countries are now challenged with many environmental problems , they are as well faced to the biggest challenge of development which is to have an energy strategy that could substitute oil dependency and sustain the growing energy needs. Exploration on renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydro energy has been already considered however the fact remains that these are not enough to meet the world’s growing energy demands. Of course there is also the debate regarding the cost of these alternatives if governments are going to put up large scale power plants. Now the questions are; how are we supposed to resolve the energy problem if we could not rely entirely with the above mentioned alternatives? Is oil independence really possible?

Biosphere Technology is a gasification process that converts wastes into green energy. Its end products also include high alloy steel wire, pozzolanic ash and black carbon. The whole biosphere process has five stages. Stage 1: Material is collected and brought to a central Biosphere Process where 100% of the total tonnage is processed. Stage 2: Material is sorted for recycling the biosphere separator * Compost production (20%) * Plastic/ Rubber recover (10%) * Metals, glass and aggregate recovery (3%, 5%, & 8%) * Materials burned to generate electricity (54%) Operating at a rate of 5-8T/hours each receiving line separates materials into two feedstock streams comprising putrescible (organic) and non Putrescible (inorganic) materials if necessary. Stage 3: All non-recycle materials is forced through the Biosphere Densifies, which compacts the materials into 20g* flakes with 15-20% moisture, (Termed Biosphere Flakes)at the rate of 5-8T/hour.These flakes fuel the Bios...
