7 Reasons Why Future of World Economy Depends on Renewable Energy

There are various reasons as to why the global economic future depends on alternative renewable energy sources. Here are seven of these reasons.

1. Reducing the effects of global warming. Alternative renewable energy sources will provide a solution to the ecological crisis that is caused in part by global warming. If the switch to alternative renewable energy sources is not made soon, this may have a very serious impact on the world economy and the world’s communities.
2. Fossil fuels are running out. Oil and natural gas are not infinite and will run out eventually. Even before they run out, they will become increasingly expensive because of scarcity. The resulting energy crisis will have a devastating impact on the global economy.
3. Reducing pollution. Alternative renewable energy sources are a wonderful way for reducing the global levels of pollution. For example, waste to energy is a great method of turning discarded trash into desperately needed energy to power and heat our homes.
   
   
4. Supporting developing countries. The need for energy goes up every year, especially as more developing countries advance. When they have access to domestically produced energy, it will make their development process easier, as local economies benefit from the abundance of businesses and jobs. The countries of the future will be the countires that are embracing green energy sources right now. Look at China – they got into the act this last few years as they understand that there future depends on it. More and more countries are taking action. Anything to do with the green economy is going to be huge in the next few decades.

5. Moving away from foreign oil dependency. It is possible to produce alternative renewable energy sources domestically in every country. This means that no nation will depend on another to provide it with the means to produce energy, as well as a cleaner domestic environment overall.
6.  Investing in alternative energy. It is a smart choice to invest in alternative energy. This means that it is not only a great opportunity to help our planet, but also one to receive a good financial return in the end. 
7. Creating green jobs. Many new jobs would be created once the switch to alternative renewable energy sources is made. Factory jobs would be needed, since the manufacturing of energy source components is needed. Technicians would be needed to install, service, and repair those energy source components, like wind turbines, solar panels, or municipal waste pyrolyzer.

Effective Torrefaction Technology from JF BioCarbon

Basically there are two torrefaction technology in use today, namely the direct heating and indirect heating. Direct heating is torrefaction technology with direct heating by using the unit operation (process equipment), among others, with non-oxygen gas loop with exchanger using a moving bed, drum, vibrating belt, multiple heart furnace or using a low-oxygen gas loop linked to the burner using a tunnel or moving bed.  While the indirect heating included using advanced drying technology and retort heating as did JF BioCarbon.  A number of technology providers are competing to design an effective and efficient process so that meet benefit greatly. The use of indirect heating such as JF BioCarbon uses a vacuum process and operating conditions are easier to control.

Huge market potential, because the excellence of the biomass torrefaction products (torrified wood pellet and briquette), also made ​​a number of technology providers to increase their production capacity. Currently the average manufacturer produces less than 5 tons / hour torrefied wood products. Production capacity to 5 tons / hour is one of the parameters of success of this technology. Torrefied wood products is predicted to replace the wood pellets, because of its superiority, among others, as follows:

-Hydrophobic characteristically, good to be stored for a long time without experiencing degradation of its physical properties
-Moisture content below 3%
-Easy to be crushed or pulverized to coal plant process
-The properties of torrified wood are very homogeneous
-Burned without causing smoke and smell because of all volatile material had been removed during manufacture.
-Ideal for gasification and Fisher-Tropsch process for conversion to chemicals.

-Can be made ​​from many biomass, while wood pellet can be made only from narrow feedstocks.

In addition to wood pellet market is already global oversupply, also encourages the use of better fuel economy in both the torrefied wood briquettes or pellets.

Among a number of technology providers, JF BioCarbon using the process easier, simpler and faster. If the average of the production process torrefied pellets through 10 stages as follows:

a. Pre-Torrefaction

1.Prepare feedstock particle size 

2. Pre-dry feedstock

b. Torrefaction

3. Evaporate Residual Moisture

4. Heat Feedstock to 250-280 C

5. De-polimerize hemicellulose

c. Post-Torrefaction

6. Cool & re-polymerize product

7. Crush to Size

8. Condition

9. Densify (pelletizing)

10. Cool & Screen

 (Adapted from Wood Pellet Association of Canada)

 

So JF BioCarbon production process is shorter, ie :

1-      Prepare feedstock size

2 &3 Pre-dry feedstock & evaporate moisture.. This is all done in one process.

4 & 5- are one combined process

6-       Torrefied is cooled while being moved from reactor to char bin via a cold water cooled jacketed auger system (40 ft. long)

7.  Fine particles ready for pelletizing if necessary.

8.  Pelletizing

9. Cool and Screen

Ready to go to the new era of Biochar

In 1545, early Spanish explorers found lush gardens and rich, black soil deep in the Amazon jungle like none they had ever seen before. The civilization has long since disappeared and scientists have recently discovered how these ancient people created the abundant soil,some areas proving to be 2,500 years old.

Scientifc research has discovered that this soil was made with powdered charcoal and fertilizer. Using this combination, tests performed by various universities have proven to simulate the Terra Preta soil.

And now many regions and counties in this planet have applied biochar to soil, they have built new protocol on this. US for example, must read report, excellence report on biochar, please read http://www.biochar-us.org/pdf%20files/biochar_report_lowres.pdf
For more detail on biochar to soil application over the globe please click http://biocharbazaar.org

Just as the Terra Preta soil was made 2,500 years ago,
JF BioCarbon Charcoal (biochar) Soil Enhancement is produced from powdered charcoal and natural cow manure, resulting in the ultimate nutrient-rich soil enhancer.

Reduce fossil fuel dependency with biomass for energy

One of the most interesting developments in global commerce of biomass (biological matter that can be used as fuel) raw-material in recent years has been the substantial increase in the trade of biomass for energy generation. Much of the increase in shipments is the result of policies implemented by European governments to generate more green energy based on renewable resources as a substitute for fossil fuels. According Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ) biomass for energy (pellet production) was close to 10 million ton in 2008. It is estimated that production will double over the next four to five years and some industry experts forecast an annual growth of 25-30 percent; globally over the next ten years.

Europe is currently the major market for biomass for energy especially pellets, briquette and torrified wood , but the interest for non-fossil fuels in North America is growing. Biomass, i.e. all organic plant and animal products used to produce energy (or in agriculture), currently accounts for around half (44 to 65 percent;) of all renewable energy used in the EU. Biomass currently meets 4% of the EU's energy needs (69 million tonnes of oil equivalent (toe)). The aim is to increase biomass use to around 150 million toe by 2010. The new leadership in the US government is going to have a positive impact on alternative fuel usage and the expected change in energy policy could very well result in increased imports of pellets, briquette and torrified wood from Canada to the US, which will eventually diminish the flow of biomass from North America to Europe. As a result, European consumers will have to search for alternative supply sources in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Russia.

Bi-products from sawmills have historically been the most commonly used wood fiber source for energy generation as well known as major raw material for this industry but because of higher demand for renewable energy and increasing costs for fossil fuels, it has increasingly become possible for power plants to also utilize higher-cost forest waste such as tree tops, branches and smaller trees. As this supply source has started to tap out, there is now an increased interest in searching for alternative fiber. It can be expected that European pellet manufacturers will increasingly use forest residues, urban wood waste and fast-growing tree species. They will also begin to compete more aggressively with pulpmills and wood-panel mills for sawmill chips and pulplogs. Imports of wood chips from overseas may also be an option for some pellet plants. Indonesia and Malaysia has well known as biomass rich countries especially from their forest residue, urban wood waste and oil palm industry residue. Now the hundreds million tonnes biomass waste that generate annually from Indonesia and Malaysia not yet expoitated, more become environmental problem than potential resources from bioenergy or salable commodity. Tropical climate and good soil fertility make these countries have huge potential for sustainable cycle of biomass for energy production.

A surprisingly large share of the global pellet production is being shipped to markets outside the producing country, not only between countries but also intercontinentally. According to the WRQ, an estimated 25 percent; of world production was exported in 2008. Most of the overseas volume was shipped from British Columbia (B.C), Canada to Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden, despite the seemingly prohibitively costly 15,000-km journey from the Interior of BC to the European market. This situation can be explained by the currently low costs for raw material (shavings and sawdust) in Canada and the high prices for wood pellets in Europe. B.C. is the centre of wood-pellet production in North America and roughly 90 percent; of B.C.’s wood pellets are exported, including more than 500,000 tonnes to Europe. The B.C. wood pellet industry has grown by 20 percent; each year over the last five years. More than 11,500 biomass installations in the European Union have generated over 260 million tons of CO2 credits, valued at over 5 billion Euro.

The rapid expansion in global trade of biomass (both wood chips and pellets) is likely to continue over the next three to five years as more countries favour renewable energy and as local, relatively inexpensive supplies of biomass reach their limits. The question is how long expansion of the overseas water-borne transport will continue to grow, given the uncertainty of future costs of oil and the paradox of consuming large quantities of low-refined heavy fuel oils for the shipments of green energy to European customers.

Then torrefaction become the ultimate solution for overcome the demand of biomass for energy over the globe. Torrefaction is considered to be a pre-treatment technology to make biomass more suitable for co-firing applications, which aims to produce a fuel with increased energy density by decomposing the reactive hemicellulose fraction. During torrefaction the biomass its properties are changed to obtain a much better fuel quality for combustion and gasification applications.Torrefaction of biomass is an effective method to improve the grindability of biomass to enable more efficient co-firing in existing power stations or entrained-flow gasification for the production of chemicals and transportation fuels.The E.U. currently produces 4 percent; of its electricity from biomass sources and intends to double its output by 2010 through the initiatives outlined in the E.U. Biomass Action Plan. The Commission identifies three sectors in which biomass use should be prioritised, namely heat production, electricity production and transport.
