Something new to reduce your energy costs!
Did you know...
How you can save from gasification:
If you have an on-site need for heat (process heat, boilers, drying, etc.) Ag Bio-Power can help you save on energy costs. Corn is an excellent biomass to use for gasification, though it's not the only one. The gas produced from a bushel of corn has an equivalent energy value to natural gas at ONE HALF the fuel cost. (One bushel produces four therms.) Just as corn stoves and furnaces have shown that they are cost-effective alternatives to natural gas and propane heat, an Ag Bio-Power gasification system is a cost effective fuel alternative for larger commercial and industrial energy needs. In many cases, simply converting from natural gas to corn or another type of biomass as a fuel for your business can be justified by fuel cost savings. Beyond fuel cost savings, add onsite solid waste as a fuel and save even more by avoiding waste removal fees. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers investment and production tax incentives to producers and users of alternative fuels that can add to your advantage.
- Solid fuels can produce a very clean-burning gas (Producer Gas) through a process called gasification.
- Gasification has been a proven technology for more than 100 years (i.e. "gas lamp" era used coal gasification).
- Agricultural crops and crop wastes are a plentiful source of biomass that can be gasified.
- Solid wastes that cannot normally be burned for fuel, such as plastics, rubber, used paint & oil filters, etc., can be safely gasified with biomass.
- Other wood-derived fuels, such as wood pellets, wood chips, and paper products, can also be used as fuel.
