[SPN-Discussion] December 12 NY Funders: Dewatering and Compressing Biomass for "Clean Coal Plants" & Other Biofuel Processes. Sector Expert: Peter R. Smith

[Gelvin Stevenson]

Greetings, 

 

Presenting at the December 12 NY Funders breakfast will be Enhanced
Agricultural Renewable and Technologies Holdings (E-A-R-T-H), which has
developed a technology that processes, dewaters and compresses a wide
variety of raw biomass material into a fuel that is, among other things,
suitable for co-firing with or replacing sub-bituminous coal in existing
coal fired power plants. By replacing only 30% of the sub-bituminous coal
with E-AR-T-H Biofuel, the overall emissions from the power plant are
lowered to the same levels as or lower than a natural gas fired plant. This
could enable many of the 130 coal plants in danger of being shutdown after
2012 because of the high cost of compliance with emissions standards, to
continue operating by meeting those standards in a cost-effective manner.
This could also enable those plants to earn revenue from the renewable power
markets.

 

This technology also improves the energy characteristics of a wide variety
of biofuels, improving the yields and overall economics of algae as a source
of biodiesel and biomass fuel, and recycling water and nutrients from sludge
and similar products. 

 

We are pleased that Peter R. Smith, Managing Director for the Climate
Change, Energy and the Environment Group for the Pataki-Cahill Group and
former President of NYSERDA, will be our Sector Expert.
